South Carolina classrooms will help kick off the 250th anniversary of American Independence on Friday January 16, 2026! Liberty Day at the Statehouse is a one-of- a-kind educational experience that expands our students’ knowledge of U.S. and South Carolina history. This engaging and action-packed field trip brings history and civics to life for 250 selected fourth-grade students. The South Carolina Statehouse is a unique site where students can experience art, history, and government.

After being welcomed by the Governor and other dignitaries, students will meet historical interpreters and participate in hands-on, interactive experiences. Through this unique opportunity, we hope to foster an enthusiasm for learning about our state’s people, history and government.
