Charleston

We have been in Charleston just once. It was several years ago, and the weather was not the best one for sightseeing. It was windy and cold. 

But the city was what we expected it to be - a unique mixture of cultures and generations. We did not have much time to spend, and desire to go back. 

Museums and places of interest

Berkeley Museum 
From the Cherokee Path, to the nation's first true canal, Berkeley County has long been a crossroads in American history.

Wildlife abounds at Cypress Gardens. Outdoors enthusiasts and birdwatchers as well as hikers will particularly enjoy the two rambling nature trails in isolated areas of the swamp. 

Drayton Hall 
Built between 1738 and 1742, Drayton Hall is considered one of the finest examples of colonial architecture in America. 

Edmondston-Alston House 
On Charleston's High Battery, the Edmondston-Alston House is a gracious example of early nineteenth-century living.
