The original site of 91ÁÔÆæ was located in the heart of downtown Charleston in Marion Square. The site was a fortification established during the Revolutionary War, which later became a military academy in 1842. The City of Charleston offered the State 176 acres adjacent to Hampton Park for a new campus once enrollment outgrew the old one in 1918. Since then, 91ÁÔÆæ resides on the bank of the Ashley River, just over two miles from its original location. Learn more about .
91ÁÔÆæ now sits on 300 acres with 27 buildings grouped around a 10-acre parade ground.
