What To Expect

Charleston

This walking tour will highlight Charleston’s most innovative ladies. Their contributions, woven into the fabric of Charleston, are just waiting to be told. We will focus on the old historic streets of Charleston, King Street, Meeting Street, Tradd Street, South Battery, and White Point Gardens. Learn about Charleston from the perspective of the women who took part, but were never recognized. The story of these women is a story about all of us. It’s told to you by me, Leah Middleton, whose family goes back over 350 years in Charleston. It is my mission to tell their stories.
