May 18, 2007: After spending a week in Hilton Head, we spent a couple days in Charleston on our drive back up to Maryland. What a charming city!
Enjoying the fountain in the center of town.Charleston is "America's most intact colonial city" according to 1000 Places to See Before You Die. It was founded in 1670 and quickly became one of the ric hest cities in America. There are gorgeous colonial mansions throughout the city. Further, Charleston is known for Fort Sumter, where the first shots of the Civil War were fired. The country's oldest museum (founded in 1773) is also located in Charleston, named aptly, Charleston Museum.
Verdict: We loved it. Definitely a place worth visiting.
