Greeting Settlers of Charles Towne~

Thank you for your interest in Charles Towne Landing. The Friends of Charles Towne Landing has a mission to perpetuate and celebrate the birthplace of South Carolina above and beyond the means and resources given to the park by the state of South Carolina.

Our programs promote living history by refurbishing the Adventure, a reproduction 17th century cargo vessel, and by re-creating the original palisade wall. It is extremely important to recreate the history in order to educate current and future generations on our ancestors struggle in the new world.

We support the Animal Forest that is the home of many species indigenous to the Lowcountry when the settlers arrived in 1670. You can be a part of the Animal Forest by adopting an animal.

It is important to always ask for volunteers. There are many different ways to volunteer at a park as diverse as Charles Towne Landing. Whatever your talent or time is, we have a place for you here!

Often the FCTL offer educational programs that the state has not prepared for in its annual budget. That is where your donations really begin to touch the lives of the visitors to our park. The more educated we are as a community about where we come from, the better we will be as a community going forward into the future.

Please consider joining The Friends of Charles Towne Landing. We are a non-profit organization that is supported only by generous supporters like you. I ask you and your family to be a part of history by joining us in the preservation of your birthplace and ours, Charles Towne Landing.
