Witness the beauty and grandeur of these charming private homes as you hear stories about the people who lived in them. Travel back in time and tour Charleston through the eyes of the women and the generations of families who lived here. Our focus will include the answers to these and more! *What did the Charleston Women do in a British occupied city during the Revolutionary war when the men were gone, fighting? *Why did a former slave get into buying and selling slaves herself? *How can a colonial woman make her future husband sign a pre-nup? *Who’s paintings saved the African American flower sellers, who made their living setting them on the streets of Charleston? *What is the connection between Charleston and the movie, Gone With the Wind? *Who saved many buildings so they can be enjoyed by guests and locals alike? You will get the answers to these questions and more when you take my guided small group walking tour. I am Leah Middleton, certified local tour guide, who’s family traces back 350 years of history. We will focus on the old historic streets of Charleston, King Street, Meeting Street, Tradd Street, South Battery, White Point Gardens, and Rainbow Row. Meet me at 9:30 at 83 Broad Street in front of the Post Office. We will end at Waterfront Park by the Pineapple Fountain “My sister and I took our families on the Charleston Choice Tour last week. Leah was very responsive to e-mails before the tour and very organized and professional. I would highly recommend this tour to people who want a personalized and knowledgeable inside view of Charleston’s leading ladies that we never hear about.. Leah answered all of our questions and kept things moving along. We learned so much! So glad we scheduled this one!” “Fantastic tour full of information about these unknown ladies of Charleston. Leah was very passionate about this history. She was extremely clear and organized. We were in the very historic part of town and would never have known anything about these houses and stories, had I not taken this tour. I will 100% do this tour again. Thanks Leah!” “What a wonderful way to get to know Charleston’s untold history!! Leah Middleton is owner and operator of this tour. She knows her stuff! Love the theme costume she was wearing. I have a whole new respect for the strength of these women in the past. I appreciated her energy, passion,and knowledge. Highly recommend.” “Can’t say enough about how important it is to learn the behind the scenes of Charleston. These women disappeared in history. Leah brought them back to life. This is a must see tour!” “Love her costume! Leah was very pleasant and it was fun to learn about a history that should be talked about.”
Tour the oldest residential streets in Charleston and discover the stories of people who lived here.
