Secessionville Acres

Secessionville Acres lies along the tidal marshes of James Island in South Carolina’s Lowcountry, where creeks, estuarine wetlands and residential streets shape the ground south of Charleston. This quiet part of the Charleston metropolitan area stands close to an important Civil War site: at nearby Fort Lamar, Confederate troops repelled a Union assault in the Battle of Secessionville on 16 June 1862. The Fort Lamar Heritage Preserve commemorates the battlefield, while James Island’s waterways connect with Charleston Harbor and the Atlantic barrier islands.
