South CarolinaAs any Civil War buff will tell you, South Carolina was the scene of the beginning of the Civil War with first shots fired at Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861.

Military history and Civil War buffs will want to head straight to the Charleston area for tours of historic Fort Sumter as well as Patriot's Point to board the USS Yorktown and other retired naval ships currently stationed there today.

Along with many of its historical connections, South Carolina also offers visitors coastal scenery at renowned South Carolina beaches such as Hilton Head and Myrtle Beach, and summer vacation fun at Cypress Gardens in Charleston, and the Riverbanks Zoo and Botanical Garden in Columbia.
