Annual Candlelight Tour

Guided tours proceed along the one-mile historic trail, which is illuminated by the soft glow of candlelight and torchlight.  Along the way, costumed volunteers portray Colonial citizens and soldiers who tell stories of peace and war at old Ninety Six in the 1700’s. 

Tours begin at 7 pm & leave every 10 minutes until 8:20pm

Did You Know?
Ninety Six got its name around 1730 because it was believed to be 96 miles from here to Keowee, which was a Lower Cherokee town, near where Clemson, SC is today. You can view the remnants of the Cherokee Path & many other historic roads at Ninety Six National Historic Site.
