Parris Island Museum
The Paris Island Museum at Parris Island Marine Corps Recruit Depot offers a panoramic history of the United States Marine Corps. Visitors may explore galleries on the first floor covering Parris Island's rich history from its prehistoric occupation by Native Americans to the establishment of the Depot at the end of the 19th-century. Alongside early Marine Corps history is a room devoted entirely to the Charlesfort-Santa Elena National Historic Landmark, site of French and Spanish colonies on Parris Island between 1562 and 1587. Artifacts and displays covering Port Royal's important military role from the American Revolution to the Civil War are also offered, along with development of the island into a Marine Corps installation after the Spanish American War. Admission to museum complex is free. Inside the museum you find a diversity of history preserved and presented in an educational environment.
