About this activity
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.
What to expect
Uncover tales of Charleston's early history, and why this strategic location was chosen for its establishment.
Battery & White Point Gardens
2 Murray Blvd., Charleston, South Carolina, 29401, United States
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.
Edmondston-Alston House
21 E Battery St, Charleston, South Carolina, 29401, United States
This home is one of the best examples of early Federal architecture in Charleston, and has a beautiful view of The Battery.
Rainbow Row
83-107 E Bay St # 107, Charleston, South Carolina, 29401, United States
These brightly colored homes, for which the area is named, were restored to their former glory in the 1930s.
Old Exchange & Provost Dungeon
122 E Bay St, Charleston, South Carolina, 29401, United States
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.
Old Slave Mart Museum

This museum highlights the Gullah-Geechee culture of the area, and spotlights the resilience of enslaved blacks.
St. Michael's Church

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.
