Founded in 1896, South Carolina State University has played a pivotal role in African American education and civil rights history.
Built in 1917, Lowman Hall is a significant architectural landmark on campus, known for its Colonial Revival style and its role in the university's history.
The I.P. Stanback Museum and Planetarium offers exhibits that highlight African American culture and contributions, alongside a planetarium for educational programs.
The campus was a focal point for civil rights activities, including the tragic 1968 Orangeburg Massacre, where three students were killed during a protest.
The designation, granted in 1985, recognizes the district's architectural and historical significance, preserving its legacy for future generations.
