This tour provides a look into Charleston city and country life - all on the same day! You will learn the cultural values of those who were city residents and how their interests and views often differed from their aristocratic, plantation-class neighbors. While their views on war & peace often differed, it can be said all Charlestonians aspired to live a gracious and charming life. Even thousands of enslaved worked hard to earn the money to buy their freedom. Once freed, freemen were among the most ambitious in the city. By understanding what motivated Charlestonians to create such a gracious life, you will gain an even greater appreciation for Charleston's beauty. A beauty now restored to its pre-civil war grandeur. A cultural, architectural, and natural beauty recognized by today's leading travel publications - who vote Charleston year after year as Best City USA! With a B.A. in British Civilization, I look forward to sharing how Charleston became the jewel of British Colonial and Antebellum America.
·We will begin this tour with pick-up from your downtown location, after which we'll embark on an overview of Charleston's historic district by car. ·You'll see Charleston's oldest and loveliest neighborhoods with a focus on the French Quarter and the Battery District. ·Next, we'll leave the city and drive for approximately 30 minutes to national landmark, Middleton Place. I will prepare you for what you will see on the way. ·Once there, we will stroll through Middleton's lovely Versailles-inspired formal gardens which have been cited as the nation's most beautiful by the Garden Club of America. ·After our garden visit, you will see how British America's wealthiest family lived by visiting the climate-controlled house museum filled with Middleton family treasures, including an offical Declaration of Independence issued by the State Department during the Jefferson administration. ·We will then drive back to your downtown drop-off spot of choice for the end of the tour.
