Defining the Spirit of Place
Jan 21 2024 at 3pm | Kershaw Historical Society Revolutionary War Visitors Center at Historic Camden | Camden, SC
The earliest plan dates to 1774. Kershaw’s settlement become known as Camden in 1768. After the Reconstruction Period, Camden evolved into a tourist mecca for Northerners and mid-Westerners seeking a warmer winter climate. Camden had three large tourist hotels and many smaller boarding houses. The “Hotel Era” lasted from 1882 through the years of World War II. Camden developed as an equine center during these years – Steeplechase races, polo, and horse shows became hallmarks of Camden’s style.
