History didn’t happen in books, it happened across the state and that’s exactly what this project aims to highlight. While you might see a historical marker when driving down the road, locating a specific one can be difficult. The Marker Map Project systematically collected the location, image, and related historical references in South Carolina. You can use the marker map to learn more about what happened in a specific area or plan a road trip to various historical locations.

Scope of collection:
The Marker Map includes the geographic location, sign and site images, text, condition, and other information regarding historical markers in the state of South Carolina.
