The South Carolina Statehouse, Columbia

State House Monuments Tour

Since Columbia’s 1786 founding, the grounds of the South Carolina State House have grown from a four-acre site bounded by Richardson (Main), Gervais, Assembly and Senate streets into a 22-acre complex featuring seven buildings and more than 30 monuments. South Carolinians have constructed, altered and reconsidered this space for more than 230 years—and continue to do so today.
