Laurens County 250 Committee Awarded Grant for Revolutionary War Archaeological Project
June 15, 2025
The Laurens County Revolutionary War 250 Committee received a grant from the South Carolina American Revolution Sestercentennial Commission to support archaeological investigations at two historically significant sites: Hammond’s Old Store and Fort Lindley.
The grant funded professional archaeological work aimed at uncovering and preserving artifacts connected to Laurens County’s Revolutionary War history. These efforts will contribute to a broader understanding of the County’s role in the American Revolution.
Artifacts recovered from the dig will be curated and featured in a Revolutionary War exhibit set to debut on Carolina Day, June 28, 2026, at the Laurens County Museum. The exhibit will showcase Laurens County’s contributions to the fight for independence and serve as a highlight of the upcoming 250th anniversary commemorations.
