The State Library will be supporting the South Carolina Confederate Relic Room and Military Museum's American Revolution Day. More American Revolution battles/skirmishes were fought in South Carolina than in any other state. Everyone has something to learn from the conflict that founded our country; the Relic Room’s full day of programs will offer something for everyone. Spend a day immersed in history and bring the youngsters!
