Site of Palmetto Iron Works
On the SW corner of this square was located the Palmetto Armory, later called Palmetto Iron Works, originally built for converting flint and steel muskets into percussion guns. Arms and munitions were manufactured here during the Confederate War, 1861-1865.
Marker is at the intersection of Richland Street and Lincoln Street, on the left when traveling west on Richland Street.
