A complete guide for everything you need to experience a great Long Weekend in Charleston.

More history than you can shake a stick at here in Charleston. I ought to know. We have family buried in the historic French Huguenot church located at 136 Church Street. (Huguenots were French Protestants that fled from France after the Catholics started slaughtering them in the mid-1500s. Our family came over in the early 1600s.)
"We've always wanted to visit both Savannah and Charleston. We chose Charleston first. It's so wonderful that we can't wait to get to Savannah to compare." ---Beatrice K., San Diego
