Not much is left of the historic town of Childsbury. It was an early frotier town along the Cooper River and the site of a ferry crossing in the 1700s. The Strawberry Chapel was built in 1725 and remains standing. This heritage preserve has a short hiking trail that ends at an overlook with a spectacular view of the upper Cooper River.
