Overview

Come on our History Walking Tour presented by Junket!
Charleston is a popular tourist destination for people from all over the country. Today's visitors love strolling along the gorgeous cobblestone paths, taking in the natural visual magnificence, stopping for a bite to eat by the river, or shopping on King Street for the latest fashion trends. You'd never realise it, but there are horrific memories of destruction, mayhem, and death beneath all of this beauty and grand architecture. Since its establishment in 1670, Charleston has weathered innumerable harsh conflicts, Mother Nature, and threats from enemies from an endless sea of enemies.

Threats to Charleston included well-known pirates like Blackbeard and Stede Bonnet. Learn how Charleston's beautiful homes and paths came to be by taking a tour of the city's gorgeous surroundings, from The Battery to White Point Gardens, to the Stede Bonnet Monument. Start at the Battery and explore Charleston's heritage of Pirate and Patriots.
