Charleston a Unique American Adventure….

Enjoy a city built before the American Revolution that served as the capital of British America. Charleston, in the 18th century, was a seaport comparable to the great northern ports of Philadelphia and Baltimore. Experience Charles Towne Landing, site of the original settlement; the Charleston Museum, America’s oldest, or the world’s largest naval and maritime museum at Patriot’s Point, home of the aircraft carrier Yorktown. Cruise Charleston Harbor to the naval base, or visit Fort Sumter, where the Civil War began.

Great architecture and arts are just part of today’s Charleston charm. The public market, famous for the handmade sweet grass baskets, is a must stop during every visitor’s trip. Golf the renown courses of South Carolina or fish the Gulf Stream as you like. World famous restaurants meld the cultures of this old city.

And, southern hospitality, in place for over 300 years, continues today in Charleston!
