| Stamp #8: Colonial Dorchester |
 |
| St. George's Anglican Church Bell Tower |
Today has been a day full of history on our road trip to become #UltimateOutsiders. Just a 30 minute drive from our second stop, Charles Town Landing, is our third stop: Colonial Dorchester. This site is located near the Summerville area of Charleston, SC. It's a 325 acre historical site that features just a few remains of the town of Dorchester that existed before the Revolutionary War. What remains today are the walls of Fort Dorchester, made of an oyster shell "tabby", the brick bell tower of the St. George's Anglican Church, and the parish cemetery. An interpretive trail educates visitors about the colony. Reenactments are held periodically at the park.
