Following lunch, you will take a short walking tour (approx. 3-4 city blocks, please wear comfortable footwear for walking) to view the Charleston Battery homes. The southern boundary of Charleston is fortified by a structure known as The Battery, a venerable seawall constructed to protect the city from incursions both tropical and military. Each brick and cobblestone narrates a story of Charleston's past, and today you get to enjoy a glimpse outside of these storied and beautiful homes, as well as a look inside the Edmondston-Alston House located along Charleston Harbor. The Edmondston-Alston House, circa 1825, presents a unique history of the people, both free and enslaved, who loived and labored on this property. Commanding a magnificent view of the Charleston Harbor, the house has a collection of furniture, silver and decorative arts, largely originals to those who owned the house, constitutes a rich, complex history of Charleston in the 19th century. One of the oldest houses along the High Battery, it withstood the American Civil War, the Earthquake of 1886 and numerous hurricanes.
