I studied for a year historical preservation in Ohio. But Charleston has achieved preservation best of any city I’ve ever known. It’s almost like you go back in time as if you time traveler.
A gem among America’s older, more historic cities, Charleston is a must for history buffs. Beautiful, gracious city.
There are so many stories here in Charleston it is living history you pass ordinary citizens on the street but know their ancestors worked hard and were hero’s in their own right.
Just returned home from Charleston, it’s a beautiful place. My family fell in love with the city.
Just don't rent a car while you're here, the drivers are pretty dangerous, unfortunately.
@@nicolecopland461 Don't blame us for bad driving, it's you and the others who moved here that can't drive for shit
Definitely the prettiest city in America. Could make videos there for years!
I was there in 64 and I've been back many times...it is the most historic area in America, no doubt.
The parks and trees are so beautiful
I was born in Sumter, grew up in Moncks Corner, and live in North Charleston. Patriot's Point amd Ft. Moultry are my favorite places to visit.
The construction of The Ravenel bridge was featured on, i think, Modern Marvels.
This is the greatest thing I’ve seen in quite some time, just wonderful. I shall visit Charleston sir!
Savannah too
I love Charleston South Carolina. I was born in SC and there are many quaint little towns to love.
What about Beaufort?
@@horseplop9 Beaufort is definitely worth a visit--also Edisto Island.
Thank you for the tour! - Amazing can't wait to go back !
I am
A tourist in my own city every day. There’s so much to see and so much to do.
I want to take a long weekend there soon. I’ve visited numerous times and always enjoy.
I absolutely love this video! I'll be moving to Charleston within the next 6 months and this video just adds to my excitement.
We’ll be happy to have you Margaret! (45 yr old lifetime resident)
From a fellow South Carolinian, I hope you are enjoying your time in Charleston! Welcome! 🤗🌴
Charleston and Savannah are my favorite small cities in the U.S. Gorgeous places, great food, amazing architecture. Best to go in spring or fall/winter... summers
are unbelievably hot and humid.
Planning on going to both locations late April or early May next year. Visited Asheville, NC a week ago...was awesome!
So much history! Love the thumbnail of St. Phill's and the Pirate house.
This is my favorite city of all I have ever visited.
My son enjoyed his visit to fort Sumter I remember coming as a child. I was appreciative of viewing the homes on museum mile across from battery on white park it gives a different view of sc
Spectacular city full of history
Thank you, my Hometown. Hope to be back by the end of 2020.
Charleston is beautiful for everyone.
Excellent ! No wonder my sister’s family loves Charleston. Thanks for the beautiful tour !!!❤
Carolina gold the rice is truly a background of South Carolina.
I love the Charleston symphony orchestra my niece was in the Peabody orchestra and my daughter studied at the Atlanta symphony orchestra. I’m a music appreciation. I sang in the choir as a child. My grandmother was a church organist but I can not play but I enjoy listening.
Wonderfully informative. Thank you!!
I have taken sail boating lessons and I have risen the schooner pride
I have visited many of the churches through our Charleston they are not only historic but really touching of the people who rest here
I grew up in Charleston. I rented an apartment on Colonial Lake when I attended the College of Charleston: The Berkley Court Apartments. I had a part time job at The Citadel Museum and took part in some of the Bicentennial reenactments.
This video is really gorgeous beautiful too, I love charleston it’s my town my love lives there ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just returned from Charleston a few weeks ago, it’s a beautiful charming place. We went to Middleton Place plantation, Boone Hall plantation, Charleston in Tea plantation, fort Sumter, Folly Beach,The husk restaurant, Hyman’s restaurant. We also loved walking downtown; and going in the market place. It was a well worth trip that we will always cherish. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video, it covers a little more than we saw, is a great video about Charleston thank you.
Beautiful city !!
Charleston and the surrounding Tri-County area has been home for all 43 Years of my life. And there is no where else I'd rather be. 💯
I love the story of Charleston SC. Ive never been but I plan on visiting very soon
Geneth Anthony I live there! It’s beautiful and I think you should go 🤗
I may have some family roots there with my grandfather's
You want regret your visit. My hometown.
I have always wanted to visit. Growing up, my family traveled all over the U.S. and Canada, but somehow our travels never brought us through Charleston. It's on my bucket list, as they say.
I love the theater and arts
Love to visit going in April
Thank you Micheale ❤️🇱🇧🇺🇲
I enjoy this video great representation
Amazing tour! Thank you!
Great video,keep it up!
Preservation society needs to put brown screws in the plaques they put up and DO IT CORRECTLY
I’m glad to call Charleston home. I went to a special school when I was a child that studied Charleston. Although it was in the north due to history.
i must visit soon .the moment this travel ban is over here in S Africa
Sitting in St Micheals in the same booth as George Washington was one of the highlights of my years. Here. I loved to see the Hayward Washington house.
I was born in Chas and lived there until 12 years old. I need to come back for a visit. Several of my childhood friends that are still there say things are very different. Not really in a positive way. I hope that's not the case. I have wonderful memories of this city. 💕
My son enjoyed the york town his Boy Scout troop came here. It touched the heart of my former spouse. My father was in the navy.
Charleston is over 340yrs old , That’s pretty old any city in The USA !
So beautiful moving there this summer can’t wait 💗
Enjoy the traffic!!
Mayor Joe Riley really put Charleston on the map to make it what it is today!
The statue of the 'veiled woman' looks to be 'The Veiled Rebekah, dated 1864' Sculpture by Giovanni Maria Benzoni. There is one at The High Museum in Atlanta, Georgia. Thank you for sharing this with us all.
Nice city!
I'm old and this might be the best travel documentary I've ever seen in my life. Charleston has so much history! The tour guides are articulate and genteel, as I would expect. In this era of a lack of civility, Charleston is a role model for the nation. God bless the Holy City, the city of churches! This documentary is a snapshot in time, because after all the rioting and looting and arson and shootings of 2020 (including statues pulled down) Charleston looks very different I imagine. We need a new revolution of patriotism to throw off Marxism! Those who forget history are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past again. True history must be preserved as a lesson.
Beautiful documentary. Much higher quality than mine! Guffaw.
Lived there from 1974 -1984 as a teenager, had a job at the Charleston Naval Shipyard, I enjoyed my stay there then I moved back to my birth place, Miami Florida.
Great story, Captain Kirk!
Thats my name charlestone hahhaah i will never forget this
The USS Yorktown (CV-10) is not the only famous ship at Patriot's Point. The USS Laffey is also on display.
I would love to visit Charleston, SC!! ☺️
Come on I'll show you around
Nice to meet you again Michael Jordan. This is John Stockton
I’m on my way!
my dad was stationed at the afb I remember alot of the places in the video.i remember hugo
I got Married at the Magnolia plantation last year. We stayed at the French Quarter Inn it was fantastic. Highly recommend Charleston.
Hey son!
I was born and raised in Charleston... It's so nice to see what the tourist see... But we are full 🥴
Imma live here when I'm 30yrs old. Mark my words :)
Why 30
@@JayC2FoeHunnid hahahaha because I think I won't be able to save enough until that age
Just be sure you don't move to West Ashley unless you have a car. The busses are unreliable and they shut down at 8pm. The drivers are nice though.
You can surely find a nicer place than Charleston. They're a dime a dozen.
I love sc county parks
I love painting religious work
Thanks @michaeljordan a slam dunk video !
Saint Micheal is my favorite church in South Carolina
Charleston is a nice city to visit, very walkable. We've done a self guided your and hired a tour guide in another visit. There is a lot to see in a small area. We actually prefer Savannah to Charleston because the span if architecture history is longer, and it has more of a bohemian vibe, and the layout if Savannah is uniquely beautiful, probably the best looking city in the US. If you are a history buff, take a week and see both cities. Charleston is like a fly in amber. Savannah is gorgeous. We've had great food in both cities. I would suggest putting the diet on hold and enjoy the great southern cuisine.
The span of architecture cant be longer in Savannah because it isn't nearly as old as Charleston.
@@danielobrien1 Savannah is a much better city to visit, a lot more charming than Charleston. I've been to Charleston a couple of times, don't feel like I need to go back, but Savannah is a city that I just can't get enough of. The layout of Savannah is unique and well thought out, which really showcases the architecture and landscaping. Although Savannah is smaller than Charleston, it feels like there is more to explore. We had a private tour of Charleston, with a historian from the University, had access to things most people don't get to see. It was fascinating, but even so, Savannah still has more to offer visitors. I like how Savannah manages to preserve the old but embrace the new. Charleston feels somewhat stuck in the past. In any event, be safe today. I hope y'all escape Ian unscathed.
I used to live in Charleston on Ranger Drive in Charleston Hts. from John Steelman
General P. T. Beauregard was from New Orleans, with a home in The French Quarter across the street from the Ursuline Convent. He had his aides carry his furniture with him when he was in battle, which is where we got the Campaign Furniture style. My saw horse legged desk, however, did bot have legs that folded.😩😩
Im from Charleston .. I love home but the "CITY MARKET" he's talking about is actually The OLD SLAVE MARKET.. where they held the slaves before selling coming from gadsden Wharf, where the new African American museum is built
Can you still buy a slave there today?
I live here and it’s expensive as fuhck but beautiful and historic
Yep I live here too
I want to study in Paris someday the French influence found in South Carolina I’s found in the food and in the art and furniture
The ghost tours are very real
To my Gullah/Geechees… The name Gullah is in the Strong’s Concordance Bible dictionary as a Hebrew name. Look in the Hebrew Language section on page 1353 and you can see for yourselves. Yah’ll (we) are Hebrews. Our names were not mis-pronounced as Angola or Golas although some of our ancestors were from there. The Spanish and English called us Gullah or GuYah (In spanish the LL makes a Y sound) because they knew who we were. Geechees are the Yamasee or Yahmassee (Yah) (Yahweh) who were also Hebrews and were called (Maroons, Guale, Yamacraw, Creek Aborigines) by the Spanish. Cum-by-Yah, Ah-ha-Yah, We-Ben-Yah (We Son of Yah), Hallelu-Yah.
@strawdog *80* There is no such thing as Sub-Saharan Africans, nor Black Africans. That's like saying White Europeans killed other White Europeans in an event called WWII. It's extremely ignorant to think that all had the same language, faith and belief system. Plus, the "no written language" is an old bigot theory that have been disproved years ago.
@strawdog *80* Sounds like you are mad that we know who we really are... We were forced to listen to fake his-story, but we never believed it. We would smile and say ok, but we were taught the truth at home. We did things in order to survive. We know that all of Africa was never ever under one name, one belief system, one language, one culture, and one flag. It is a continent of many different languages, belief systems, cultures etc. To lump all of us into one category simply because of the way we look is as racist as it comes.
Thomas’s family history is told at fort moultry
I miss living in Charleston
Girl, me too!
Having been to both Charleston and Savannah, both cities have strengths that outweigh the other. Charleston obviously has a lot more history, more to see and do, and better shopping. Charleston has beautiful slave plantations whereas Savannah doesn’t have any. But Savannah is still a more beautiful city. Savannah’s architecture, squares and parks beat Charleston’s. Charleston on the other hand has excellent shopping on King Street and City Market. But Savannah has a better nightlife scene as Georgia has open container laws whereas South Carolina doesn’t. Also, I think that Savannah’s cuisine is more southern and more authentic. Charleston’s restaurants has a more fusion and modern twist. Both cities are rivals but depending on what you’re looking for, neither one is better than the other.
Nathan Graf I agree
Good Comparisons.. Ive been looking for a list like that
The way to get around those open carry laws is to get a boozey popsicle. There's a stand on Anson St., right in the parking lot behind Henry's.
"slave plantation"? Indigo, rice, and cotton plantations that were operated by slave labor. A plantation is a farm. They weren't in operation to grow slaves.
With the restaurant fare, what you've observed reflects the fact that Charleston's demographics have changed more than Savannah's have--Charleston has had a larger influx of recent immigrants from other places. Charleston's traditional cuisine is just as Southern as Savannah's and it's still available--you just have to know where to look!
Thank you for sharing the history of South Carolina, i hope and pray that people doesn't destroy our history there because its the white and black people's history that we all share together. I disagree with the earlier southerner plantation owners that own slavers because no one should ever be a slave for no one . That's one reason why history is so important so that will never happen again to no one of any color of race . History is so important we all can learn from it . Thank you , so much for sharing this video to everyone that loves history about our country, rather if its good or bad . It upset me when our history is destroyed about the civil war on both sides no one has the right to destroy anything about the white and black people's history, because we all can learn from our history . So please do not destroy our history its not just the white people history but also the black people history also !
My family is moving there
I want to make stain glass someday there is a studio in north woods mall that teaches fusion glass
Fort moultry has Thomas family history so it’s holds significance
Best houses are in Charleston.
YUP
We lived there and I was afraid the whole time.
Lol why?
charleston has become too touristic and too expensive for pple who live and work there/ lousy parking and very little public transportation/ lot of overrated restaurant
Our new Mayor recently had the grand statue and monument of the great John C Calhoun destroyed! He is Charleston’s worst Mayor!
It needed to be done
LOL!
Tom loves Scott’s Presbyterian but regardless of what your faith you can find a church.
beufort sc i live there in beufort
Charleston is rich in history places of worship alot of churches first Baptist church started along with a piratestown from Black beard and others william Rhett executed pirates buried in St Phillips Church along with famous people buried there also and the pink house pirates hotel and plantations slaves buried there magnolias plantations rice planted there revolution and Civil wars with alot of cannons and aquarium and beach.

We have to thank Gen Sherman for agreeing not to destroy the city during the civil war.

This place creeps me out; nothing but bad vibes! Savannah gives me the same feeling.
How?
They have a creepy ghosty feeling. But it’s still cool to visit
