Join registered guide Elise Detterbeck behind the gate of Trott's Cottage for a unique walking & history tour of Charleston, SC.
Trott's Cottage is one
of the oldest houses in Charleston, and is within the original walled part of Charleston.
The tour starts inside with a brief overview to set the scene for the 8 historical characters (REAL PEOPLE) whose stories will walk you through the unique history of Charleston.
Although this is a "walking tour", if your group finds walking a challenge, this tour can be easily adapted to a "non-walking" tour with advanced warning.
Characters include:
* One of the first female settlers of Charles
Towne
* A French Huguenot portrait painter
* The Pirate-hating Judge under the Lord
Proprietor's Rule
*A Revolutionary Hero
* A freed slave, hanged for his leadership of a
slave insurrection that never happened
* A Civil War blockade runner that inspired the
famous Rhett Butler character
* An English newspaper editor who led the
Earthquake of 1886 Recovery
* A Charleston Renaissance writer
