A heartfelt thanks to Sarah Rose of Charleston Women's Magazine for spotlighting the inspiring stories of some of the extraordinary women from Charleston. (https://charlestonwomen.com/featured/eras-of-extraordinary-lowcountry-women-well-behaved-women-rarely-make-history/) You can learn more about these women and other women who influenced the history of Charleston, South Carolina and the United States on my " Well Behaved Women Seldom Make History" tour.

As I casted my vote on Tuesday, I reflected on the incredible women of Charleston who fought for our right to do so. Thanks to their efforts and the passage of the 19th Amendment, we can make our voices heard today. Join me to uncover their powerful stories on my tours, "Well-Behaved Women Seldom Make History" and the "Grimke Sisters Tour."

Did you know that Edgar Allen Poe was stationed at Fort Moultrie in 1827? He enlisted under an alias, Edgar A. Perry to escape his tremendous debts. He used Sullivan's Island for his setting in the short story, "The Gold Bug". Poe's Tavern is one of my favorites places to eat on Sullivan's Island.

1778 Philadelphia: Continental Congress Delegates were discussing how to celebrate the country's new found freedom. William Henry Drayton said "be one of celebration with "certain grand fireworks", rather than one "of fasting and mourning" as another Southern Carolinian suggested. So, on Independence Day, 1778, Congress joined with other Philadelphians at the City Tavern for a “very elegant dinner” followed by a “brilliant exhibition of fireworks.” (Drayton Hall Website) Photo: Charleston Magazine

Happy Carolina Day! June 28, 1776, when the Patriots in Charleston took on the mighty British Navy and their land forces . Courageous men, an inlet and a fort built out of Palmetto trees and sand was the key to their success. This battle was the first victory for the Patriots in the South.

Love the comment from one of my guests that took my "Don't Tread On Me" American Revolution Tour. Made me laugh:) “I would go on a tour with the guide we had even if it was of potholes they were so good!”
