Exhibits
The visitor center is located in a house built circa 1828, after the Pinckney era. This well-preserved structure is a rare example of a once-common low country cottage. Exhibits interpret Charles Pinckney, a "Founding Father" who shaped the United States Constitution, his family, his political offices, his impact on the Constitution, the impact and influence of slavery in the low-country and some of the archeological discoveries made on-site. Two videos, each under 20 minutes, are available for viewing. One focuses on Charles Pinckney and Snee Farm. The other relates how the Constitution was written in 1787 and how it applies to our lives today. It features scenes from National Park sites associated with Constitutional history.
Available Facilities
First aid, park literature and the park bookstore operated by Eastern National Park and Monument Association.
