Political speeches, group baptisms, concerts and more have drawn spectators to this amphitheatre since the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) built it of local stone in the 1930s. It is one of South Carolina's only remaining amphitheaters with classic CCC features.

Like the ancient Greeks, the CCC capitalized on the contours of the land to create an open-air theater featuring natural acoustics and a good view of the stage from any seat. Unlike the Greeks, the CCC left trees standing within the site.
