We invite you and your students to visit
the boyhood home of Andrew Jackson, the
seventh President of the United States.
Within the park you will find a museum
with a small gift shop, two nature
trails, a replica 18th century
schoolhouse, a lake, a campground, an
amphitheater, a Meeting House, and two
picnic shelters. The museum contains
exhibits that reveal life in South
Carolina’s backcountry during the late
18th century and the story of how
growing up in this settlement produced
our Seventh President. On the museum
grounds, view a bronze sculpture of
Andrew Jackson as a teenager by Anna
Hyatt Huntington and the Daughters of
the American Revolution marker
recognizing his birthplace.
We encourage you to experience the park by participating in one of the following Discover Carolina
programs. Pre-site, on-site and post-site lesson plans have been developed to ensure a quality educational experience for you and your students.
