CHARMING CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA
A trip to Charleston, one of America’s most historic and time-honored cities, is like taking a giant leap back in time – to a place where charming traditions are still practiced and the
folks are friendly. Here, historic homes have been lovingly restored and gardens are meticulously tended. You can even take a horse-drawn carriage ride to enjoy the sites that have shaped Charleston to be the place it is today.
A visitor must-see is the Historic District of Charleston, which encompasses more than 2,000 buildings. Shop in the Old City Market or explore the grounds of Fort Sumter National Historic Park, where some of the settlement’s earliest fortifications were located. You’ll see where the first shots of the Civil War were fired and learn about Fort Sumter’s role. A harbor boat trip to is another pleasant way to see the fort and its environs.
If you should find yourself on the spooky side of Charleston’s Historic District at night, you can take
a walking tour inside the gates of Charleston’s oldest graveyards, or explore The Holy City’s streets, cemeteries, back alleys and churches. If you dare
to delve further, go on a behind-the-scenes tour of the Old City Jail, which housed some of Charleston’s
most infamous criminals, 19th-century pirates and Civil War prisoners.
For a more serene way to enjoy the city, stroll through the lovely gardens of the Charleston Magnolia Plantation and Gardens. Founded in 1676 by the Drayton family, Magnolia Plantation has survived the centuries and witnessed the history of our nation unfold before it, from the American Revolution through the Civil War and beyond. It is the oldest public tourist site in the Lowcountry, and is home to the earliest public
gardens in America, opening its doors to visitors in 1870 to view the thousands of beautiful flowers and plants on its famous grounds.
Just outside the city of Charleston lies Boone Hall Plantation. This 1681 working plantation is known for its moss-draped, three-quarter-mile Avenue of Oaks and original slave cabins. Boone Hall is the only plantation in the South Carolina Lowcountry to offer a live presentation of the unique Gullah Culture, which was cultivated by African slaves.
