Come on our History Walking Tour presented by Junket!
People come from all over the country to visit Charleston, which is a renowned tourist attraction. Visitors today adore taking leisurely strolls along the lovely cobblestone walks, admiring the beauty of nature, enjoying a meal by the river, and shopping on King Street for the newest styles. Underneath all of this beauty and impressive architecture, there lie horrifying memories of destruction, mayhem, and death. Charleston has survived numerous difficult wars, Mother Nature, and threats from an endless sea of adversaries since its founding in 1670.
Well-known pirates like Blackbeard and Stede Bonnet posed a threat to Charleston. Take a journey of the stunning surrounds of Charleston, from The Battery to White Point Gardens to the Stede Bonnet Monument, to discover how the city's lovely mansions and pathways came to be. This unique historical tour, which begins at The Battery, explores Charleston's history of pirates and patriots.
