Hike, kayak, or fish in the old-growth bottomland hardwood forest tracts at Congaree National Park. This forest, which is the largest, contiguous, in-tact expanse of such forest remaining in North America, supports an astonishing diversity of champion-sized trees and wildlife.&nbsp;Long, rich, and complex cultural legacies in the Congaree Biosphere Region encompass native American traditions, African American culture (including slavery, maroonage, and a powerful Reconstruction story), colonial and Revolutionary war history, outdoor recreation heritage, agricultural and logging heritage, transportation history from railroads to steamships, moonshining, and more.

Since its creation in 1786, Columbia has featured a large African American population whose labor, skills, and vision have been integral in the city’s physical, spiritual, and social evolution. During the course of four centuries, Columbia’s black community transformed itself from that of a predominately enslaved population to a society whose members overcame the restrictions of Jim Crow and charted the course of the Civil Rights era. Join Historic Columbia on a tour to learn their names, their stories, and their legacies. Tours are offered Wednesday - Saturday from 9am to 3pm and Sunday from 1:30pm to 3pm. See the Mann-Simons Site, The Museum of Reconstruction, and The Hampton-Preston Mansion, one of Columbia's oldest remaining structures.
