About Charleston
March, April,
May and early June - and again in the late autumn, are the great months to
visit Charleston. Flowers burst forth in the early spring and, if your
residence is in a northern climate, you will really appreciate the way
Charleston's moist sea air cuddles you and does a complete thaw. (Of
course, in the late summers, that is the last thing you want.) Downtown is
splattered with all kinds of historic highlights (you'll have to do some
walking) and the Battery is a must see: a lovely park, benches to sit on,
trees for ample shade, and a view of the harbor which is constantly
changing. Bring a bag lunch - most everyone (who is in the know) does.
The famous ante-bellum plantations are out SC-61 (Ashley River
Road) except Boone Hall which is out past Mount Pleasant just off US-17.
Charleston has several memorials (reminders) of various wars the
United States has survived: The Revolutionary War, Civil Way and WW-II are
primarily represented. A collection of World War II ships across the river
from Charleston is a sobering reminder of what it took to preserve our
freedom. Charleston is an education but it is also a lot of fun. Please
enjoy!
