At the fall line where Lowcountry ends and Upcountry begins, the capital city, Columbia, sits in the very middle of the state. A planned city, Columbia is skirted by three major interstates and the busiest airport in the state. Downtown Columbia houses both the University of South Carolina and the State House. Fort Jackson, one of the largest Army bases in the country, can be found in Northeast Columbia. The State House reminds everyone of General Sherman's march through the South. Cannon ball scars are still visible on the landmark. A historical marker back at the university reminds the traveler that every student joined the Confederacy. Down the street, an old cotton mill has been beautifully converted into the State Museum.
