Completed on November 11, 2020, the County of Bamberg dedicated our new veterans memorial that honors each branch of the United States Armed Forces (USAF). The park is an arrangement of seven plazas set at the gateway into the City along Highway 78.
The Revolutionary War Veterans Plaza and Park represents a significant extension of the Bamberg County Veterans Trail. This proposed addition will include plaques listing and honoring every recorded individual from the region who served, with particular recognition for the often-overlooked contributions of women and free and enslaved men of color, reflecting Bamberg County’s commitment to inclusive historic preservation. Additional text will highlight the wartime activities of communities within the historic Orangeburgh District and its neighboring areas, creating narrative connections among historic sites across the region.
