Discover Gullah culture on Hilton Head.
A blend of West African and European-based language and tradition, the Gullah heritage is still alive on the South Carolina coast. Learn all about this storied culture by taking in the Gullah Heritage Trail Tour. The tour leaves from Hilton Head's Coastal Discovery Museum and offers an up-close and personal look at this fascinating way of life. Click here to learn more.


Charleston's Beautiful Aiken-Rhett House.
Unlike a lot of the old homes in downtown Charleston that have experienced many renovations through the years, the Aiken-Rhett house is a living snapshot of 19th century Southern culture. Built in 1817 by a sea merchant named John Robinson, the Aiken-Rhett house allows its visitors the rare opportunity to explore what life was like for urban slaves. Click here to learn more.


Historic Places to Stay.
Don't just visit Charleston's historic venues, stay in one too. Once the largest and grandest hotel in the Carolinas, the Francis Marion Hotel on King Street is the perfect place to stay for history buffs. Home to one of the original signers of the Constitution, the John Rutledge House is a must see. And finally, the Kings Courtyard Inn is a Greek Revival masterpiece crafted by Francis D. Lee.


Charles Towne Landing
Bring the kids to Charles Towne Landing Historic Site in Charleston. You'll marvel at the 17th century replica sailing ship, The Adventure, see all sorts of native animals in the Animal Forest and get a taste of what life was like in this 17th century colony.
