Emerse yourself in our 18th Century streets.
The area of Charleston south of Broad Street or the Charlestowne neighborhood is Charleston's most prestigious neighborhood. There you will find 8 of the 10 largest historic homes in Charleston and many of Charlestons' most important public buildings and museum homes and the origiinal walled city.
See White Point Gardens, the high battery, Rainbow Row, Catfish Row (the area featured in Porgy and Bess), and much, much more. Learn about the very beginnings of Charleston, its role in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and what it's like to live in Charleston today.
As a 22-year resident of the Charlestowne neighborhood who has served on several community organizations, I can share with you interesting and amusing stories of 300-year-old institutions and customs that few others can.
