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 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.
