Camden is rich in historical architecture, and offers tours of its' more than 40 homes built prior to the American Civil War. In addition, carriage rides are available of the historic downtown area. Camden was also the site of one of the greatest defeats for the American colonies during the Revolutionary War. A two-mile trail marks the spot, with signs along the way describing the action. Camden Revolutionary War Park is a 98-acre outdoor museum complex. It contains several restored homes of the period, reconstructions of military forts and a mansion that was used as British headquarters during the war. Other attractions in town include the Quaker Cemetery, which is over 250 years old, and the Camden Archives Museum. In the 20th century, Camden became well-known for its' equestrian activities. It's home to third oldest active polo field in the United States. According to Kershaw County's web site, "That interest in equine activities has continued and today the horse industry is a major part of the county economy. For that reason, the county is known as the 'Steeplechase Capital of the World'." For outdoor fun, Camden offers Goodale State Park, which is most well-known for its' canoeing and kayaking. A three-mile paddling trail winds through cypress trees for a scenic, relaxing ride. Shoreline fishing and picnicking is also available at the state park.
