Old Ridgeland Civil War (sic) battlefield in SC to get new look

Wade into the woods in Ridgeland looking for the site of the Battle of Honey Hill, and your chances of identifying something meaningful are slim.

A sign off of S.C. 336 tells a brief tale of the Confederate victory at the site in November 1864. The rest is up to those brave enough — and with enough local knowledge — to make their way around.

But the town of Ridgeland and preservationists are finalizing an effort to make the site more welcoming, to tell people what they are seeing and what took place and to preserve key elements of the battlefield.
