Broad Street Tours will be offering walking tours again this year. Lee Ann Bain and Carol Ezell-Gilson will be your guides. The daytime tours are two hours in length and cover about a mile distance.
Learn about Charleston’s magnificent ironwork while strolling through the lovely historic district. Much early ironwork was destroyed in raging fires and many noteworthy gates and fences were donated to the Confederate cause to be melted down for cannonballs and “skins” for the ironclad boats. But, even with the losses, the city retains a wealth of impressive ironworks. Hear the story of Philip Simmons, Charleston’s most famous ironworker, and of earlier blacksmiths who crafted beautiful gates throughout the city.
