Day trip to a little-known state Heritage Preserve - Poinsett Bridge Heritage Preserve. Poinsett Bridge is the oldest stone bridge in South Carolina, and was built in 1820 to connect the state capitol, Columbia, to Saluda Mountain. It is said to have been designed by Robert Mills, architect of the Washington Monument. The bridge is named after South Carolina native, Joel Poinsett, the first United States Minister to Mexico.

We didn't go just to see the bridge, but also to see the large number of various Spring ephemeral wildflowers that bloom in early April.
