This is the site of a colonial village founded in 1697 by a group representing the Congregational Church of Dorchester, Massachusetts. Attractions today include the site of the tabby fort, on-going archaeological excavations of the village, the tower of St. George’s Parish Church, and a small outdoor kiosk explaining the history of Dorchester and the upper Ashley River area.
Altho there are no long hiking trails here, this is a nice place to spend a few hours and go on a short walk, since the historic sites are not far apart.
