A Celebration of Historic St. Philip's Church and its Leading Role in the American Revolution

St. Philip's and its congregation played a nationally important role in the American Revolution, as documented by the six new historical markers placed at the church for this 250th anniversary. Within this one congregation were the Presidents of the First and Second Continental Congress, two Signers of the Declaration of Independence, a Signer of the U.S. Constitution, the designer of the Don't Tread on Me flag, the drafter of the terms of surrender at Yorktown, and a principal negotiator of the Treaty of Paris. In addition, the Rev. Robert Smith, Rector at the time, led many efforts promoting the Patriot cause and took up arms and fought at the Battle of Sullivan's Island. Join us for a special exhibit related to St. Philip's role in the Revolution and for Revolution-focused tours of the newly-restored historic church and churchyard. 10am-4pm Friday + Saturday
