November 17, 1781
Fort Fair Lawn was a vital British outpost during the occupation of Charleston in 1780–1781. This site preserves one of only two Revolutionary War-era forts in South Carolina that survived intact. Built on property belonging to the Colleton family, descendants of the original eight Lords Proprietor of the Carolina colony, Fair Lawn Barony was the target of a daring Patriot raid on November 17, 1781, and abandoned by the British a week later.
