Located behind City Hall is Washington Park. It is named for the Washington Light Infantry, a pre war militia unit which supplied three full companies to the Confederate Army. A forty foot stone obelisk stands at the center foot the park in memory to their dead whose names are listed on the shaft. To the East of the obelisk is a monument to Gen. Beauregard. To the south is a bust of Henry Timrod, a poet of the Confederate Cause whose verses were popular during the war. Some other memorials are mounted on the park wall on the East side. The fireproof building of the S.C. Historical Society stands in the N.W. corner of the Park.
