About ExploreSC
Integrating with your device's mapping app, you'll be able to navigate to even the most off-the-beaten-path markers to discover the richness of historical sites in South Carolina--and you can curate a list of favorites to create your own personal library of South Carolina historical sites.
Tapping links on any marker's page within the app sends you to appropriate entries within the South Carolina Encyclopedia, providing users with reliable, approachable information about the people, places, and events that make up the state's rich story.
Photographs of markers and monuments record their placement within the state's landscape, creating opportunities for reflection, remembrance, and conversation if and when they go missing, are damaged, or are removed.
