Description

Excerpted from the website:

Tracing the Past
In Charleston, history isn't something that's tucked away in a museum; it's as close as a stroll through the city's narrow cobblestone streets. Historic homes abound - some even dating back to pre-revolutionary days - and many are open to the public. Among the best known are the extravagantly ornamented Calhoun Mansion, the Federal style Joseph Manigault House, the Nathaniel-Russell House, famous for its gravity-defying spiral staircase, the Greek Revival Edmonston-Alston House, and the Heyward-Washington House in the heart of Catfish Row, the real-life setting of the fictional "Porgy and Bess." On East Bay Street, fourteen vividly colored homes make up Rainbow Row. Good or bad, Charleston will always be famous as the place where the Civil War began. Catch a Sumter Tours Sightseeing boat and cruise around the harbour and out to Fort Sumter for a fascinating glimpse into that troubled time. Other military sites in town include the Old Powder Magazine, the city's oldest public building, The Citadel, where the cadets parade every Friday during the school year, and Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum, home of the World War II aircraft carrier Yorktown.
