Charleston, SC – Final Day of Touring

On Monday we stopped by the Dungeon and Provost. It was in the basement of this building which was where the Declaration of Independence was read aloud on those steps, and the site of the first Post Office in Charleston. When George Washington visited he apparently danced with over 200 women at a party in the upstairs ballroom.

In the basement:
   
 
In the stairwells there were tons of pictures and information.

Here is the order of Secession:
  
Here is the great hall where George Washington was entertained.

 
Here are some shots of old Post Office stuff:
 
Here are some clothes and furniture:
Moultrie’s Vest:
 
We were really there on the 13th, but you know….


Apparently this location has been found to be the Nation’s oldest Spirits Establishment in continuous operation.

Since it was out last day in the city I wanted to walk around and get the pictures of things that I felt like we hadn’t documented yet. There will just be lots of pictures to follow. You can always check out the Picasa album to see more.
Some cemeteries and churches.
   
Some more interesting locations:
  
While driving out of Charleston we went on the other side of King Street to see what was over there. We just happened to run into the old jail.
 
We also drove by The Citadel, which apparently is a military academy. It was very castle-like.

And that’s it! We will definitely go back, but we’ll actually go through some homes and check out a few streets that we missed. I would also like to spend a little more time on the different beaches. It was a fun trip and I’m glad we did it. It’s fun to get out an explore.
