Overview

The Ninety Six National Historic Site is an area of unique historical significance. The unusual name was given by early traders in the 1700's because they mistakenly believed it was the estimated number of miles to the Cherokee village of Keowee in the upper South Carolina foothills.

Ninety Six National Historic Site is open daily from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. The park is closed on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year's Day. Gate closes promptly at 5pm, but if visitors park outside the gate they are allowed to stay until sunset.
