- **Event Name**: DEFENDING THE GATEWAY TO CHARLESTON: THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR ON THE CAINHOY PENINSULA
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 19 May, 2026 at 07:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Berkeley County’s Revolutionary War history is rich and storied, with more than 30 documented sites of significance here. Of particular importance was the village of Cainhoy, where the Patriots fortified a post in May of 1780 and also maintained a field hospital. According to Berkeley County Historian Keith Gourdin, the Cainhoy Peninsula offered “security for the last open communications route into the city and served as a major supply depot.” What role did Daniel Island and the greater Cainhoy Peninsula play in the war? What battles and skirmishes took place here and who were the major players in military actions? How did these events fit into the larger South Carolina Revolutionary War story? For the answers to these questions and more, join us for a panel discussion with John Brian Eleazer, author of the book The South Carolina Militia in the Revolutionary War, Katherine Pemberton, Chief of Education and Outreach, SC American Revolution – Sestercentennial Commission (SC250) and Torrence Sullivan, a member of the Daniel Island Historical Society Board of Directors and the Berkeley County Greenbelt Commission. This program is a joint presentation of the Daniel Island Historical Society and the Berkeley 250 Francis Marion Commission.
