Sally Salamander is a walking tour of downtown Columbia featuring numbered, bronze statues of South Carolina’s state amphibian, the spotted salamander. The tour was presented by the Leadership Columbia class of 2009. We’ll meet-up at Columbia SC Visitors Center to get started!
I’m Sally, Columbia SC’s official amphibian ambassador! As you look for me around downtown, be sure to notice the beautiful architecture and cultural icons of South Carolina’s capital city. We pride ourselves on maintaining our rich history as we build for the future. When you spot me along your journey, feel free to pet me. Like our locals, I am friendly and full of Southern graciousness.
Street Parking available near Columbia Regional Visitors Center, 1120 Lincoln Street Columbia, SC 29201. Contact Kim with Cola City Homeschoolers if you’re lost along the way or running late: 803-307-4880
We will be exploring the spots along Main Street and looping back to the start. We won’t cover the entire distance of them all. You can come back to find the rest on your own (or we can schedule part 2). Families with younger children, please consider the walking distance and duration of time. If we need to split up into older/younger groups.
