We've come here to the Charleston Museum to learn a little about the city's history.
I'm here at the Charleston Museum. What I find very interesting is that Charleston
once had a palisade around it. Also they had many walls to help protect the city.
And these displays really give you a feel from what early Charleston might have been.
Behind me is a rice truck gate, they used to let water into the rice fields,
because a lot of the history of Charleston has to do with rice
plantations that surrounded the city, and provided a lot of the economic income.
Now this is a gun collection I'd like to have. I'm very impressed by all these weapons.
They really span a time period, and I always find old arms fascinating to look at.
This is really interesting, the desk and chair behind me is where the delegates in South Carolina
signed the Declaration of Succession from the United States December of 1860.
Right here on this table is really where the Civil War began for South Carolina.
I think it's amazing to see things like
this.
Well I really enjoyed my visit to the Charleston Museum,
and I highly recommend it. There is an admission fee, but I think if you get it along with the
combination ticket to the historic houses. You can also buy tickets for several of the
attractions put together, and that makes it really affordable to come here. Well until next time, bye.
