Discover the tale of the pirate who met his end here in the 17th century, and how this location got its name.
Charleston played an important role in the Revolutionary War. Explore the city's Revolutionary War history at this home of a war hero and second cousin to George Washington.
This home is one of the best examples of early Federal architecture in Charleston, and has a beautiful view of The Battery.
These brightly colored homes, for which the area is named, were restored to their former glory in the 1930s.
Witness to much of Charleston's history, this location was built in 1771. The location served as a prison for traitors during the American Revolution, and a marketplace for enslaved people before the Civil War.
You can view the Slave Auction Monument here, a memorial to the enslaved population of Charleston, whose skilled work made much of the city's opulence possible.
This museum highlights the Gullah-Geechee culture of the area, and spotlights the resilience of enslaved blacks.
Largely unchanged for the last 250 years, this was the first Anglican church built south of Virginia.
This home was built in 1765 for a family of slave traders. Ironically, it was used by the Union Army as their headquarters during the Civil War a century later.

About Charleston
Charleston is a South Carolina port city of pastel row houses, cobbled lanes, church steeples, Gullah culture and Lowcountry cooking.
Charleston was settled in 1670 and grew on a peninsula between the Ashley and Cooper rivers, and it is one of the best-preserved colonial-era cities in the United States. Rainbow Row, thirteen pastel Georgian houses on East Bay Street, is the best-known sight. The Battery, a seafront promenade with old cannon and oak-shaded White Point Garden, looks out to Fort Sumter, where the first shots of the Civil War were fired in 1861. The city is nicknamed the Holy City for its many church steeples.
Top-ranked sights in Charleston: Charleston City Market, Rainbow Row, Old Exchange & Provost Dungeon.
