    Rivers Bridge State Historic Site commemorates a major engagement during the Civil War when Sherman's forces outflanked the Confederate troops in their march on Columbia during the final months of the war. The park has abundant narrative signage providing an outline of the events during the engagement as well as hiking trails, a boat access to the Salkehatchie River. Admission is free, but there is a modest fee for a guided tour on the weekend. Picnic shelters can be reserved for events but alcohol consumption is prohibited.
