Everything, and everywhere, in Charleston is about history.

Most visitors walk around downtown, in the French Quarter, or the waterfront seawalls. However on the edge of town there are plantation homes, parks, and an area of marshes and land set aside 200 years ago for cemeteries.

The cemeteries are a history lesson of the US founding families, southern plantations, Civil Rights, the US Civil War, and famous architects. Oh, and photography. 

Above; Charleston is known wrought iron work. Well known ironsmiths work can be found outside homes downtown, through out Europe, and many Museums. This photograph is part of an old burial plot near the Cooper River salt marshes.
