Establishment of the Reconstruction Era National Monument
President Obama used the Antiquities Act to establish the Reconstruction Era National Monument in Beaufort County, South Carolina, protecting approximately 15.56 acres of historic sites including Darrah Hall, Brick Baptist Church, Camp Saxton, and the Old Beaufort Firehouse. The monument, managed by the National Park Service with a required management plan within 3 years, commemorates the first experiments in African American freedom, education, and political participation during and after the Civil War.

The proclamation permanently protects marine national monument lands around three islands and preserves military training areas near two leased islands, with provisions for future conveyance if management agreements are reached.
