American College Towns: Columbia, SC

Columbia, South Carolina, the state capital and home to the University of South Carolina, is beautifully illustrated in this artwork featuring the historic South Carolina State House. The neoclassical building with its grand dome is framed by a crescent moon and a palmetto tree, symbols of the Palmetto State. Known for its rich history, Southern charm, and vibrant academic life, Columbia blends political heritage with the energy of a bustling college town. This design captures both the stately presence of the State House and the cultural identity that makes Columbia a defining destination in South Carolina.
