Most of the tours highlight major events in this historic city. This tour is specifically designed about women and the history that has not been told. The tour is for everyone. It is slightly over a mile walk through the oldest neighborhoods in the city. We will focus on the following: What happened to the women when the men went to war? How did women survive during the occupation of the British troops? How did widows, with multiple children manage to keep a roof over their head with no income? How did they manage businesses when they had no experience? These questions and more will be answered when you go on this tour. Told about women by a woman.
This walking tour will highlight Charleston’s most innovative ladies. Their contributions, woven into the fabric of Charleston, are just waiting to be told.
We will focus on the old historic streets of Charleston, King Street, Meeting Street, Tradd Street, South Battery, and White Point Gardens.
Learn about Charleston from the perspective of the women who took part, but were never recognized.
The story of these women is a story about all of us. It’s told to you by me, Leah Middleton, whose family goes back over 350 years in Charleston. It is my mission to tell their stories.
