Then and Now

South Carolina began with only one settlement, Charles Towne. Soon colonists were pushing into the frontier. As plantations arose, merchants, doctors and craftsmen settled towns like Dorchester to support them. Trade routes - rivers, paths and roads - connected planters to towns and towns to cities. Today those same roads and rivers help us follow our forebears' steps. The old Ashley River Road (Highway 61), and the river itself, still link Colonial Dorchester, now a State Historic Site, to tje fine homes of John Drayton and Arthur Middleton.

All along South Carolina's National Heritage Corridor, historic sites invite you to glimpse the past. Enter- adventure awaits !

Map : Colonial trade routes, shown on this 1773 James Cook Map of South Carolina, often evolved into modern roads. You can drive these historic byways while exploring the South Carolina National Heritage Corridor.
