Living History Park

Living History Park is a colonial-era recreation village in North Augusta, South Carolina, portraying life from 1735 to 1785 across more than 20 historic structures, including the Willow Spring Meeting House, the Blacksmith Forge, the Spring House Tavern, the Grist Mill, and the Perry Hill Cabin. Founded in 1991 and established in 1993 on the grounds of a former water works, the 7.35-acre park was built through decades of community volunteerism and today operates as a nonprofit, 100% donor- and grant-funded cultural destination. Several of the park's period buildings double as private event spaces. The Colonial Barn seats up to 296 guests indoors, with weddings and receptions expanding to 450 when the doors open to combine indoor and outdoor space. The more intimate Meeting House suits christenings, memorials, lectures, and small weddings for 35 to 40 guests, while the Spring House Tavern comfortably seats 40 for club meetings, luncheons, and holiday parties. The Farmer's Barn, the park's newest addition, offers fireplace-warmed space for outdoor gatherings and can be rented alone or paired with the barn, and The Commons, a grassy central green, hosts outdoor weddings and group events. Rentals include restroom facilities, and the Colonial Barn comes furnished with tables, chairs, and benches. Outside catering and food trucks are permitted for a fee, and the park can arrange golf cart transport for guests from the main entrance.
