Overview of your Charleston tour:

It all began here in the South with Carolina Gold (rice) and ended with Charleston being “the little city that started the Big War”. Walk in the footsteps of the enslaved, the fire eaters and the elite Southerners and learn how their paths crossed here in Charleston and shaped the destiny of the United States.

Your Charleston tour itinerary

We’ll explore the homes, landmarks, and pivotal sites that uncover the complex history of slavery in Charleston and South Carolina’s central role in the events leading up to the Civil War. Highlights include the Old Slave Mart Museum, the South Carolina Institute site—where the state voted to secede from the Union—and powerful stories tied to figures like Robert Smalls, James Petigru, and Denmark Vesey. We’ll also visit Hibernian Hall, the site of the 1860 Democratic Convention, and the office of the Charleston Mercury, the newspaper that played a key role in promoting secession.

The tour starts at Washington Park, the corner of Meeting and Broad St, behind City Hall. I will meet you by the statue of George Washington. There are 2 parking garages on Queen Street, a couple of blocks away from Washington Park. To get to them you will turn right off Meeting Street onto Queen Street. There is a parking garage on your left across from 82 Queen the restaurant. If that one is full, keep going to the light, cross over King Street and you will see a second garage on your left.
