March 20-22, 2015Inspired by the rich historical, architec-tural and cultural heritage of Charleston, the 12th Annual Charleston Antiques Show is a premier destination for collectors and enthusiasts who enjoy seeing and learning about incorporat-ing antiques into modern-day decor. The Antiques Show is a showcase of English, European, and American period furnishings, decorative arts and fine art, architectural elements, garden furniture, vintage jewelry and silver--all late 17th to 20th centuries.

Founded in 1670, Charleston quickly rose to prominence as the colonies’

most significant seaport, importing the finest in 18th and 19th century material culture. Today the city’s legacy of Continental, European and Asian influences can still be found in its alluring architecture and decorative arts. Through the Show’s educational and entertaining special events, collectors have a unique opportunity to purchase and learn more about everything from exquisite furniture and fine art to rare maps, jewelry, posters, prints and quilts.

Circa 1738, Drayton Hall is the oldest unrestored plantation house in America still open to the public and the nation’s earliest example of fully executed Palladian architec-ture. Never modernized with elec-tric lighting, plumbing or central heating or air conditioning, the main house is unfurnished, allowing the beauty of the architectural details to become the focus for visitors. Guests will enjoy daily tours and programs, including a profession-ally guided house tour on the hour; the interactive “Connections: From Africa to America” program presented three times a day; the 18th-century African-American cemetery–one of the oldest documented African-American cemeteries in the nation still in use; an award-winning “Voices of Drayton Hall” historic grounds tour on DVD;

self-paced river and marsh walks and a popular Museum Shop with a collection of signature merchandise inspired by Drayton Hall’s history and architecture.

According to Executive Director, Dr. George W. McDaniel, Drayton Hall is more than a house; it’s a point of introduction to Charleston--to its history, its people, its architecture and its landscape. Charleston was, and still is, a major port city, but for it to be successful, it had to have goods to both export and import, and there’s no better place to be introduced to, and to actually see, those influences of global culture and trade than Drayton Hall.

Two crops, rice and corn, directly influenced Charleston architectural styles. Rice was exported to Europe,

Crowd Pleaser

and this trading led to Palladian and classical architecture being introduced to Drayton Hall and South Carolina. Corn, while a less important export, is in the design of the plaster ceiling of Drayton Hall’s Ionic drawing room. It was corn that was the source of agricultural wealth of the Veneto, enabling Venetian nobility to fund the construction of their new Palladian villas. The influence of corn on making Palladian architecture possible is one of many little known historical facts visitors will learn during their visit to Drayton Hall.

Drayton Hall is a National Historic Landmark and a National Trust Historic Site, and is open year round, seven

days a week, except for major holi-days. House Tours are given Monday through Saturday on the half hour, beginning at 9:30 am with the last tour beginning at 3:30 pm. Sunday tours begin at 11:30 am with the last tour beginning at 3:30 pm. Visitors wishing to take the house tour should arrive 20 minutes before the start of the tour. Drayton Hall is located at 3380 Ashley River Road, just a short drive from downtown Charleston. For information on daily programs, admission prices, discounts, focused house tours, family promotions, annual Spirituals Concerts and more, call 843-769-2600 or visit www.dray-tonhall.org .

Hampton Park is one of the City of Charleston’s largest parks. The sixty acre park at 30 Mary Murray Drive, next to The Citadel , boasts the most extensive f loral displays of any park in the city. An old rose col lect ion and seasonal displays are planted and maintained by staff and volunteers .

This neighborhood park has a r ich and varied history. Once part of a plantation owned by John Gibbes, in the early 1800s i t became The Washington Race Course where an

annual horse race was held that drew thousands. During the last days of the Civi l War, the area was used as a prison where hundreds of Union soldiers died. After the Civi l War, the City of Charleston acquired the property to be used as a park, naming it after Civi l War General , Wade Hampton III . By 1932, the park included a zoo and aviary. The animals were removed in 1975 and the park became increasingly run down, unti l an extensive renovation in the 1980s.

Charleston’s Historic Market

Charleston Historic Market is one of the area’s must see attractions. Having survived a tumultuous past, the Market has outlasted tornadoes, hurricanes, a major earthquake and devastation by fires and Civil War bombardment. Over 200 years ago, a wealthy Charleston family willed land to the town of Charleston to be used as a public market, with the stipulation that the property revert to the family if used for any other purpose. To this day, the charming Charleston City Market is a popular destination for visitors and locals alike.

Our quaint streets, historic homes, beautiful beaches and romantic ambience have made Charleston a favorite for visi-tors for hundreds of years.

Of course, there are many of fi nerestaurants that tout their well-earned accolades and are recognized nation-

ally and internationally for their food, character and atmosphere. But, we wanted to really dig in and fi nd out where our friends, the locals, like to eat.

Camellias, a southern landscape favorite, show off a blaze of color throughout the winter months. Middleton family history holds that in the year 1786, French botanist Andrè Michaux, gave the Middle-tons some of the fi rst camellias to be planted in an American garden. To-day, Middleton Place has over 3,500 camellias, many over 220 years old, including one of the four original Michaux plants, which is known at Middleton Place as the Reine des Fleur or Queen of Flowers.

Blooming during the depths of win-ter, the fragile beauty of camellias en-hance the Middleton Place Gardens with thousands of blossoms, from pristine white to all shades of red and pink. Guests may learn about this magnifi cent plant and thousands more on a Camellia Walk, held every Tuesday, Th ursday and Saturday be-ginning February 10th and continu-ing through March 21st. Th e camel-lia-focused guided Garden tours will begin at 11 am at the Garden Market & Nursery and last approximately an hour and a half.

Located on Sullivan’s Island, Fort-Moultrie, a landmark of the Amer-ican Revolution, withstood the fi re of nine British warships on June 28, 1776, returning fi re with can-non shots that swept the decks of enemy vessels. Th e unfi nished palmetto log walls of the fort did not shatter, rather they absorbed the cannon fi re much like a sponge absorbs water, and after nine long hours, British ships were forced to retire. Led by the brave Colo-nel William Moultrie, the fort was later named in his honor, and the fl ag of the fort, blue with a white crescent, was adopted as the South Carolina fl ag – with the addition of a palmetto tree. Th e original structure was re-placed in 1798, but was de-stroyed by a hurricane in 1804.

Work on the present structure was completed in 1809. Held by the United States Army for the next fi fty years, the fort served as a prison for the great Seminole chief Osceola. He died there and is buried just outside the gate. Other prominent 19th century in-dividuals who spent time as soldiers at Fort Moultrie included General William Tecumseh Sherman and the noted writer, Edgar Allen Poe.Evacuated by U.S. troops on De-cember 26, 1860, Fort Moul-trie was quickly occupied bySouthern forces. Confederate gun-ners here fi red on Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861, and the fort was one of the few points around the harbor that received return fi re from Sumter. Confederate engi-neers covered the old brick walls

with massive embankments of sand. This proved to be a good tac-tic when Fort Moultrie, along with nearby Fort Sumter, was bom-barded for 20 straight months by Union forces. Unlike Fort Sumter, which was wrecked by the bom-bardment, Fort Moultrie remains in excellent condition today.The fort remained an important U.S. military post until the end of World War II and was modernized with each new generation. Today it preserves an array of fortifications ranging from the original brick walls of the 1809 fort to concrete batteries and observation posts used through World War II.

Part of Fort Sumter National Mon-ument, Fort Moultrie is the only unit in the National Park system

where the entire 190 year history of the United States’ military's coastal defense efforts can be explored. The Fort Moultrie Unit, including the visitor center, historic fort and parking area, is open daily from 9 am to 5 pm. It is located at 1214 Middle Street on Sullivan's Island and is accessible by car.

Visitors can not reach Fort Sumter from Fort Moultrie. It is accessible by a concession-operated ferry or by private boat, departing from Pa-triot’s Point in Mount Pleasant and from Liberty Square in downtown Charleston.

Uniquely Charleston

Strolling historic King Street near the corner of Calhoun Street, you’ll come upon a majestic green space known as Marion Square. This park is fre-quented by local College of Charles-ton students studying or just looking to catch some rays. Professionals and families picnic around the park and dog owners find a wonderful space to walk their canine friends. Tower-ing over the scene you’ll spy a distinc-tive castle-like building that piques the interest of nearly every passerby. Today it is the Embassy Suites hotel, but this enchanting structure holds a much more historic and significant past. This building is the original home of The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina.Today, The Citadel sits much further north on the peninsula adjacent to the Ashley River, but its buildings and grounds still echo the architec-tural influence of its former home. The original building was built in the 1820s as a result of the unsuccess-

ful Denmark Vesey slave uprising. Vesey was a former slave who had purchased his freedom. He and his followers planned to kill slavehold-ers in Charleston, liberate the slaves, and sail to Haiti for refuge. Word of the plan was leaked, and city officials had a militia arrest the plot’s leaders and many suspected followers in June before the rising could begin. Not one white person was killed or injured. Vesey and five slaves were among the first group of men rap-idly judged guilty by the secret pro-ceedings of a city-appointed Court and condemned to death; they were executed by hanging on July 2, 1822.After the Vesey insurrection, the SC Legislature decided to build a “for-tified arsenal” and staff it with 150 men “to act as a Municipal Guard for the Protection of the City of Charles-ton and its Vicinity” - thus the Cita-del was born but known then as The Arsenal. The Arsenal was formally converted into the South Carolina

Military Academy in 1842. Many Citadel alumni fought in the Civil War. Cadets remained at the school throughout the war but were often ordered by the governor to support the Confederacy in the drilling of recruits, manufacturing of ammuni-tion, and guarding Union prisoners.Union Troops occupied The Cita-del between 1865 and 1882. It re-opened its doors as a military college in 1882 and remained there until they moved to their current location in 1922. The Citadel turned the building over to Charleston County who in turn used it for County of-fices for many years before selling it to developers. The Embassy Suites

opened its doors to guests in the early 1990s and quickly became a favorite among Charleston visitors.

You can take a stroll through this his-toric building yourself and walk in the footsteps of the original Citadel Cadets on the preserved hard wood floors and archways. Artifacts such as bullets, buttons, books and more items found during the renovation are on display in the lobby. Charles-ton is known for her historic homes and streets and the Old Citadel is an-other gem in her crown that is preser-vation.
