Andrew Jackson State Park honors Andrew Jackson, the seventh president of the United States, who spent his boyhood in the Waxhaws area. A museum tells the story of Jackson's experiences and life in the South Carolina backcountry from his birth in 1767 until he left the state in 1784 after the Revolutionary War. The park also features a statue of Jackson on a horse sculpted by Anna Hyatt Huntington of Brookgreen Gardens fame, and this preserved 360-acre greenspace has a campground, picnic shelters, nature trails, fishing lake, and amphitheater.
