Cam
Chances are a great many
USC students will be heading
off to Camden this
weekend not to tour the
historic points but to
1 "watch" the Carolina Cup,
which, as every year, is being
held at the Springdale
race course in Camden.
But, before you strap cxi your ties and
adjust your hats, take note of Camden's
historic connections, rather than its manure
connections.
How To Get There: Take 321 north to
Camden
A Little history foryou... t
Camden was established in 1732 and '
takes the cake as the oldest inland city
in South Carolina. Located in the Old (
English district of South Carolina, Cam- (
den still retains some English ties. Maybe
, that is because originally it was the ma- (
]or British garrison of Lord Comwallis. f
Although you may think that all Cam- ^
den is known for is the Carolina Cup,
think again. The Battles of Hobkirk Camden
were fought in the vicinity, and 12 )
other Revolutionary War battles took
place nearby.
The Camden Revolutionary War Site
is located on U.S. 521 north of I-20. The t
War park is associated with National Park (
Service, and the park is located on a 92- v
acre site. Restorations hciude fort sites,log ?
cabins and 18th and 19th century
homes,including the Kershaw-Comwal- <
lis House, where Comwallis made his >i
riwauquariwrs. i nere is aisu an exuung
slide show that details the town's story, c
and there is an equally exciting model of ?
the original 80-building village based on y
maps used by patriot General Nathaniel
Greene. The park includes a nature tail,
wooded picnic area and craft shop. s
So you know about the history, but
what do you wear to the Cup? v
C
For lades" wear a springy style dress, p
Staff writer Lucy Arnold, a cup veteran,
recommends a hat.
