What To Expect

The Powder Magazine

As one of few surviving structures from the colonial period, the Powder Magazine in Charleston, South Carolina has the benefit of time on its side. The structure was built in 1713 by British colonists to house guns and ammunition so that the fledgling colony could protect itself from the dangers around it. Its solid walls kept Charleston’s weapons safe for over one hundred years before being decommissioned. It’s safe to say this building has seen a lot of action from, Indian wars and Spanish threats to French invasion and colonist insurrection. And, if you believe the local lore, it’s said that some of those who fought and died in these exchanges never left.

Old Exchange & Provost Dungeon

No historical landmark in Charleston, South Carolina, is as well-recognized as the Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon at 122 East Bay Street. From its elegantly Georgian appearance to the deeply troubled and haunted basement beneath the street level, the Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon has been one building which has truly lived historic Charleston. And, by all accounts, it continues to live in the past every day. Ghosts are said to roam its stately halls, and the startling cries of long-dead prisoners in the dungeon can still be heard. Today, the combined Old Exchange and the Provost Dungeon is now a museum which offers daily tours from 9-5pm. If these walls could talk, the secrets we would learn . . . Well, it’s safe to say that these walls would be haunted.

It seemed apt to finish 2020 by doing this tour, Sarah was our guide and she gave me chills with her stories - such an awesome guide and story teller!!! Despite the earlier rain it held off but made for an extra level of eerie with the wet ground bouncing off light reflections and misty night sky, illuminated by the full moon. I highly recommend doing the tour to gain a grittier view of the beautiful Charleston.

Our Death and Disparity Tour with Sara was awesome. We did our tour on Christmas eve on a very rainy night. Sara was very knowledgeable and friendly the whole time and told us some cool Historical ghost stories about Charleston so we didn't mind the rain. I Just prepared with umbrella, hat, small flashlight was helpful too. Very easy to hear and understand Sara. She has a great voice that carries. Alot of easy walking. I also liked that our tour was the adult only tour. I did not hear any vulgar language just much more interesting context.
