Dock Street Theatre

Charleston is steeped in history and culture, and the Dock Street Theatre is proof of this. Established in 1736, it is one of the first public theaters in the country. It is an example of Antebellum architecture replete with wrought-iron railings and splendid archways. The building was renovated in the 1930s to restore its 18th-century charm, which attracts throngs of photo-taking architecture enthusiasts. Now host to the Charleston Stage Company, this renowned professional group organizes an eclectic schedule of cultural events, concerts, productions and performing arts through the year, which are a big draw among locals and tourists alike.

Middleton Place

Middleton Place is an 18th Century rice plantation and National Historic Landmark comprising 65 acres (26 hectares) of America’s oldest landscaped Gardens, the Middleton Place House Museum and the Plantation Stableyards. The Gardens reflect the elegant symmetry of 17th Century European design. Sculpted terraces, parterres and reflecting pools full of swans are highlights of their intricate design. Rare camellias bloom in the winter, while vibrant azaleas blanket the hillside above the Rice Mill Pond in the spring. Tickets for house tours are separate from the general admission fee.

Joe Riley Waterfront Park

Don't miss Charleston Waterfront Park, on the East coast of the peninsula. Spanning over 1,000 feet along Charleston Harbor, this is a must-see for any walking tour of the city. Sit on one of several family-sized swings on the pavilion and watch ships come and go. Find an old-fashioned park bench and watch people stroll by as children romp on the large green lawns and run along the palm tree-lined walkways. Two enormous fountains invite children to splash and play in the cool waters.

Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park

This amazing stadium is the home of the RiverDogs, Charleston's own minor league baseball team. It was named after avid baseball fan and former mayor of Charleston, the Honorable Joseph P Riley, Junior. Located on the Citadel, and affectionately called 'The Joe', this state-of-the-art baseball venue can seat 6000. It offers a variety of delicious ball park food to enjoy while you take in a great game. Check website for events, times and ticket information.

Fort Sumter National Monument

Seated on a 200-acre (81-hectare) island at the entrance to Charleston Harbor, this former coastal fortification is augmented by the clear waters of the deep blue sea. The site of two prominent battles of the American Civil War, this seaside fort commands much historical significance. Fort Sumter had been under construction for more than 30 years in the December of 1860 when Major Robert Anderson relocated his troops there in the middle of the night from Fort Moultrie. On April 12, 1861, the first shot of the Civil War was fired on the Fort by Confederate troops. Following 34 hours of fighting, Major Anderson surrendered to the attacking troops. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the fort complex now includes the site of Fort Moultrie, a visitor center and the fort itself. Contrasted by rolling green fields below, the visitor center is complete with military remnants and exhibits chronicling the activities of the fort during its heyday, and the indelible role it played during the course of the battle.
