Discover Charleston’s most notable homes and plantations and learn how these structures have endured centuries of hurricanes, plagues, and war. Many of the city’s oldest houses are now considered National Historic Landmarks and have been turned into house museums. These establishments display artifacts dating from the beginning of the Revolutionary War and as far back as the 1600’s. Family heirlooms that have survived generations in the same house are also exhibited. On the property of these estates remain structures that were once used to house slaves, process cotton, smoke meat, and produce hardware for the worker’s use. You will also find that some of the country’s oldest indigenous gardens are located on the grounds of these houses and plantations.
