The colonial town of Dorchester is located on the Ashley River, just north of Charleston. Settled by Congregetionalists, it was once the third largest town in South Carolina.
Now only the old bell tower of the St. George's Church and the tabby fortifications remain. Old Dorchester is now a historic site and part of the South Carolina Parks System.
