The 292nd birthday of our First President and acclaimed "Father of our Country", General George Washington will be commemorated at 11 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 22 on the grounds of the Orangeburg County Historical Society and Pioneer Cemetery at 1421 State Road in Orangeburg.

Every year, the Battle of Eutaw Springs Chapter of the American Revolution gathers to honor the first president of the United States, George Washington.

The 200-acre property that was formerly a steakhouse is located along Highway Six, making it a popular spot for traffic.

The Battle of Eutaw Springs centers what's now known as the Town of Eutawville as a turning point in the American Revolution.
