Rivers Bridge State Historic Site

Story

Rivers Bridge State Historic Site, also known as Rivers Bridge State Park, located near Ehrhardt, a small town in Bamberg County, South Carolina, is noteworthy as an important Civil War historic site. It is in this area that General William T. Sherman engaged the Confederate Army on his advance from Savannah, and after two days of battle, outflanked the Confederates and forced them to withdraw. River Bridge State Park was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on February 23, 1972.Mass GraveIn 1876 men from nearby communities reburied the Confederate dead from Rivers Bridge in a mass grave about a mile from the battlefield and began a tradition of annually commemorating the battle. The Rivers Bridge Memorial Association eventually obtained the battlefield and in 1945 turned the site over to South Carolina for a state park.

Great state park, well maintained and the rangers are very knowledgeable. They're expanding the trails so there's plenty of hiking you can do. The actual battlefield is pretty cool with some of the earth defenses still in place.
