Regiments stage living history at Hammond Hill camp
The Second Regiment South Carolina Line set up a six by six foot linen tent camp at Hammond Hill Elementary for Colonial Life Week. Volunteers presented 18th century life with tactical demos, arm firing, and an Anglican service while students shared in crafts. The event supported by Hammond Hill PTA and North Augusta Historical Society, with the Camp Beltown Courier published for the project. The group plans a Dec 17 to 19 appearance at Marion Square in Charleston to mark Continental forces return and British evacuation anniversaries.
