Number of square miles surveyed: Approximately 1,052 square miles for the entire county. Objectives of survey: The Colleton County Historical and Architectural Inventory was undertaken as part of the survey program of the South Carolina Department of Archives and History. Known as the South Carolina Statewide Survey of Historic Places, this program is the foundation of South Carolina's historic preservation program and is conducted through the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) within the Department of Archives and History. The primary objectives of the survey program are to identify historic and prehistoric resources, record their locations, and evaluate their significance in the context of South Carolina's history. The information gathered by the statewide survey is used by the SHPO in its other programs (for example, the National Register of Historic Places and environmental review) and enables the SHPO to work effectively with local communities in their historic preservation efforts. In addition, survey information often functions as a useful planning tool for local governments and economic development organizations." Funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant administered by the South Carolina State Historic Preservation Office and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
