SOUTH CAROLINA’S
ANDREW JACKSON
STATE PARK
Andrew Jackson State Park
combines history, art and
community activities into a
setting that has made it one of
the S.C. State Park Service’s
most popular attractions.
The only park in the system
dedicated to a U.S. president,
Andrew Jackson State Park
features a museum that details
the boyhood of the nation’s
seventh president, who grew up
here in what then was known
as the Waxhaws of the South
Carolina backcountry.
A striking highlight of the
park grounds is the bold
equestrian statue of “Old
Hickory” sculpted by Anna
Hyatt Huntington of Brookgreen
Gardens fame.
The Lancaster County park
also has a replica of a late 18thcentury one-room schoolhouse,
an amphitheater and other
community gatherings, as well
as a campground, fishing lake,
