I was born in Britain and then spent all but the first five years of my life in Canada. The first time I visited Charleston, at about age 50, I got this overwhelming feeling that I was home. Can't say that I actually believe in past lives, but this was the closest I've ever come to thinking I'd been here before and belonged here.
OMG! Now this is a trip I'm going to have to make one day. Why couldn't I have been born in America!?!?!?! I LOVE the history. I LOVE the climate diversity. I LOVE AMERICA! Thanks for the trip!
Thank you so so much! We love yours too (obviously) We’d be honored if you’d share this one with some friends since Charleston is so cool, but people don’t know!
@@OurRestorationNation Very well done. Great Narrative voice and speech. I have an Intuitive delight and Passion for animals.

As a native of the South Carolina Lowcountry our beautiful State is home to some of the most haunted places in the country. From Charleston to Savannah (the 2 places slaves where slave disembarked from the Middle Passage.) the whole area left with images and reminders of the past....some good, some not so good.
I’m from South Carolina, born and raised. I’m from the Upstate, in the mountains. I hope you truly enjoyed my home state. I live in St. Louis now. I miss my home so much! Charleston is remarkable. ❤️
I'm an Australian but one of my favorite books has the main character visit Charlestown and describes him looking at the old houses. It's been a real treat to actually see the houses the character described seeing. Thank you!
Charleston was the richest city in the colonies because up north everything came in to ports, But Charleston and the south were exporters. Economics 101. Times may change but economics doesn’t. Women from rich families in Charleston wore the most up-to-date fashions from Paris and London. Many rich families sent their children back to Europe to be educated.
@@StallionFernando Not really nearby. The massive amounts of development here have ruined all the surrounding small towns and they’re bad now too. People are coming here in droves, mostly from up north (can’t say I blame them), but it’s definitely making it hard on the locals. You’ve really got to go at least and hour away to get any cheaper.
I'm so glad you enjoyed your visit. The Aiken-Rhett house is my all time favorites. Everytime I visit I see something different. I especially love the ballroom, I just stand and try to imagine all the wonderful social events held there. My youngest daughter and I actually attended the military funeral held for the men that were in the Hunley. It was amazing of course everyone and everything was historically correct down to the wool uniforms. Imagine that in Charleston heat! Middleton plantation is very beautiful, I was a docent there for about give years in the stable yard. I really miss those animals. Have a wonderful and blessed Christmas.
Thank you so much for sharing ALL of the beauty! Sigh ❤. Kind of sad to have to put in a disclaimer to masks. Wish both sides of the drama didn't get so fussy with the issue. My favorite homes in Charleston are the Single Wides, with their street front gated entrances to the beauty of first and second floor covered porches and central staircases on the inside. I swoon whenever I see one.
Love Drayton Hall❤️my favorite is preservation. We went there years ago. We were the only ones there. It wasn’t even open. They were still preserving the house and excavating the grounds.
So glad you did this. You know how it is as a local... you just kinda take all that stuff for granted. This makes me want to go house museum hopping again.
My husband and I are currently stationed here and have been blessed to be here for about 7 years now. The estate sales are extra special being able to walk around historic houses. About a week ago I went to a house at the battery and was owned by a general in the Air Force. So cool to have some stuff from his estate.
You should go to North Charleston to the Navy base. Go look at the amazing houses on the Cooper River that officers used to live in when the Navy base was in Charleston.
What a wonderful video! Charleston is beautiful. Those plantations are beautiful as well. So much history in one small city. Thank you for taking us along. Merry Christmas 🎅.
I am originally from Charleston , South Carolina . And this is really a beautiful video . The history through out the video is very educational ! Thank you for sharing this video with me ! Keep up with the good work !
Aloha from Honolulu! Thank you so very much for such an informative and super interesting video! My boyfriend and I are leaving for Charleston in a couple of days (mid May 2023) and after watching your video, I will appreciate the homes and gardens of Charleston even more! Our next stop are the Hamptons, NY, and I will search if you had made a video of those homes as well.
My mother and I really enjoyed Charleston. We went to church at St. Michael's and they sat us in a historic pew box. So gracious. The Aiken-Rhett house was completely fascinating.
My husband and I were married in the beautiful city of Charleston! We love this city, and hope to visit again in the near future! Yes, Charleston is a Laine and Kevin city! I'm sure that you were very much in your element! I will treasure this video! Thank you so much!
Isn't Charleston beautiful. My son lives there when he comes in off ship. The live oaks and Spanish moss as well as the gators, back brack water and natural vegetation remind me of back home in Florida where I was born and raised. It was natural for us to see gators in the yard coming up from our near by turkey creek. Loved the video. God bless
I love these homes & I love this city. My best friend & I go to Charleston every few years for a week or so. They residents here are just such lovely❣️
This is one of my favorite cities and you visited all my favorite house museums !!! I love it!! Mt Pleasant has some great old buildings too. Thank you so much for sharing and I hope you all have wonderful Christmas !😃
Charleston, SC was my first duty station back in the 90s at the old Navy base. Charleston will always stay dear and close to me and i am very glad that you uploaded this wonderful video like walking back memory lane. KUDOS!!
Lived in Charleston one summer when I was a kid. It truly is where I got bit by the old house bug. So, again y'all keep going to these amazing places I have such deep connections to- thank y'all
I am so glad you went to see Drayton Hall. That gorgeous house has been in a state of preservation for decades because of its special architecture. I have always had an affinity for this house too. Especially the fireplace mantels and double staircase and arched doors. Thank you for touring this house and making a video of it! Charleston is without doubt one of the best cities for architecture lovers in the U.S. Merry Christmas!
I'm so fortunate to have been born & raised in Chas. SC. Been away for a few yrs but I'll be back soon! The Chas area has it all, especially if u love history, architecture, great food & amazing people. 💙 🍍 ⛲ 🌴
Wow ... thank you so much for that amazing tour! It is one of my bucket lists to go there and now for sure I am going to make sure I vacation there! Happy Holidays to everyone!
Thank you for the tours. I was prompted to read up a little on the history of the city which certainly is interesting . Merry Christmas to you both from Sussex, England.
I enjoyed this video tremendously. I had the opportunity to visit Charleston in May of this year and yes, it was extremely hot in the 90s the day we were there. Thank you for sharing ~
Absolutely love! I highly recommend visiting Madison Indiana located on the Ohio River, it has more restored homes than anywhere in the United States outside of Savannah and Charleston. They do a Christmas candlelight tour that is spectacular.
We loved Magnolia Plantation as well, I was fascinated by the tree that someone was buried in, very intriguing! We saw an alligator also and it was on the edge of the path which was a little too close for comfort. Thank you for sharing your vacation, it makes me want to go back.
Love Charleston & all the parks & beautiful old homes . People who live in town do have an “ attitude “ Though about family $ and your background etc. Live in SC close to Charleston & we go there often . Love cruising out of Charleston on The Carnival SUNSHINE . Best way to see Charleston is by Bicycle in city / traffic is a nightmare , plus finding a parking space is a royal mess .
My heart is singing yet again 💕 Thank you both for your for sharing such wonder with us. Just beautiful in both the restoration and preservation states. Have a happy holiday season and I wish you good health and prosperity in the new year Ps. Good job being mask compliant when required 😷
Been to Charleston, "Isle of Palms", it was a Sales Meeting, so quite limited on outing time, but Great Restaurants and a place I'd return for visit and tour.
So glad that these historic old homes are being preserved and restored. Magnolia Plantation is so worth a visit. I loved touring there. Monk's Corner has a garden that is a beautiful when the camelias and azalias are blooming at the same time. I think we were there at the beginning of March. I've heard about Drayton Hall for a while now. Thanks for the tour. I'm going to have to make a point of going to visit Middleton.
Bummer history will be altered by “office buildings”. Would have been cool if someone had purchased to restore. I’m sure it would have been a cool place to tour….especially people who ghost hunt. Thanks for the video!! I’ve always wanted to head to Charleston. My Dad was stationed there in the Navy. My parents made friends with another couple who were civilian workers at the base. My Dad will be 81 & although Wade has passed they still stop & visit Martha on their way to FL from Ohio in the fall & back again in the Spring.
I watch y'all for hours at a time. If you ever visit Madison County, be sure and visit the Chapel of the Cross. It has an amazing history and is still in use today.My dad descends from Noah Hinton Thompson, whose sister build the Plantation, Annandale and the Chapel of the Cross.
Thank you for taking us on your work vacation. I wished we could learn about preservation and what goes into it. It’s a wonderful thing you both are doing. You are wonderful people. God Bless you both and all that you do 💖
Thank you for narrating this segment about historic homes! Your knowledge is astounding and I appreciate walking us through and pointing out details. I do have a question. What are those long, narrow tapestry like things hanging above the mantel of the fireplace? I have never seen these?
Loved this video ....your commentary is beautiful and spot on....thank you for sharing this incredible vacation....loved that you point out preservation vs restoration in the narrative...!!! Thanks for everything you do!!
Welcome to my home state! I live about 3 hours from Charleston and visit there often. I take many day trips there and to the barrier islands around it. I love just walking the streets and admiring all of the architecture and I love all of the window box gardens around town. Boone Hall is another beautiful plantation to visit.
Thank you for sharing your vacation with us! I love Charleston❣My hubby and I used to visit regularly because his brother would loan us his house in Mt. Pleasant to stay over the weekend. (We had to clean it before we could sleep there, but we were young!) One of my most favorite historic water towns (as well as St. Augustine.) I'm so tickled to know you are animal lovers! Love and Happy Christmas wishes 🌲 💕
What a great video. I’m so glad I watched this as I know I’ll never be able to go to Charleston . It was beautiful n the gardens were breathtaking. I enjoy this tremendously. Thanks for sharing. ♥️♥️😊👍👍👍
My favorite city!! There’s just something magical about Charleston-I felt like I entered another day and age when we visited in 2011. Thank you so much for sharing the beautiful homes and historical information. I find the plans for the Charleston City Jail to be very unfortunate. My souvenirs from this visit would’ve been the baby alligator and the lambs! 😁
Welcome to SC! You need to drop in on Greenville sometime. It is awesome to visit and to live in. BTW you won't see many masks in Greenville either. Maybe we can't compete with the coast but oh there is something very special about being at the foot of mountains and the beauty of a downtown waterfall and park. We are packed with history here and the glory of lots of old homes that have been preserved and loved.

OMG! Now this is a trip I'm going to have to make one day. Why couldn't I have been born in America!?!?!?! I LOVE the history. I LOVE the climate diversity. I LOVE AMERICA!
Thanks for the trip!
So glad you took a break, doing what you love.
Those homes and gardens are amazing! So much history too I would love to visit Charleston. Not to mention I would love that summer heat right now.
Sheeeeitttt
@@matthewvoyles7031 lol 😂
I wish I had known you were here! I live about 1 mile from Drayton Hall my favorite place in the world!!!!
I love Charleston sc it's my favorite place on earth. The city has everything. I'm so glad I live in the same state so I can go whenever I want.
My favorite city down south!! Y’all should stop by Beaufort! Love your videos!! 👍
Charleston is beautiful, but Savannah is the most beautiful southern city hands down!
I loooove your videos! You're my favorite urbex channel by far 😄
Thank you so so much! We love yours too (obviously) We’d be honored if you’d share this one with some friends since Charleston is so cool, but people don’t know!
Love both Charleston and Beaufort.

I was looking for the gator. Glad you filmed the old boy.
Thank you so much. My Mother-in-law couldn't say enough about those houses when she went there with her Church's Choir.
It's not just the houses that are beautiful but the city streets and gardebs, what an amazing town, wish I wasn't on the west coast lol.
Wow, that was an amazing video. That made my morning. Thank you!
I'm an Australian but one of my favorite books has the main character visit Charlestown and describes him looking at the old houses. It's been a real treat to actually see the houses the character described seeing. Thank you!
What book is it?
I always say that Charleston is the old, historic New York of the South because it's so EXPENSIVE... but so beautiful!!
You’re absolutely correct. I live in Charleston and everything is crazy expensive. It’s a beautiful city but I will be leaving as soon as I can!
Yes and I swear the food runs neck and neck with NYC too!!
Charleston was the richest city in the colonies because up north everything came in to ports, But Charleston and the south were exporters. Economics 101. Times may change but economics doesn’t.

Some of the most amazing places in Charleston are actually the little gardens and courtyards beside and behind houses downtown.
🔷I really appreciated this tour🔷
Thanks for the reminder of how magnificent Charleston is. It has been about 60 years since I was there.
The Bigelow Tea Plantation is just a short drive from there. It's so interesting to see how tea is grown, harvested, and processed.
Visited some of these same places twenty-two years ago. This video makes me want to go back!
Thanks for taking us along.
Thank you for sharing. Those homes and buildings are absolutely stunning.

I love Charleston. Visited twice and will be going back again and again!
I haven't been to Charleston in quite a few years. I need to get it on my bucket list. My ancestors immigrated through there before the Revolution.
Thanks for illustrating the difference between preservation and restoration for us that didn't know.
If walls could talk.....Thank you for sharing a beautiful tour of an amazing part of American history.
Charleston is beautiful! One of my favorite places. As someone who is immunocompromised, I’m grateful you’re wearing those masks.
Love Drayton Hall❤️my favorite is preservation. We went there years ago. We were the only ones there. It wasn’t even open. They were still preserving the house and excavating the grounds.
I loved Charleston when I vivsted the east coast a couple years back. I can’t wait to visit again
How beautiful! ❤️
LOVE painted wood details.
I loved this episode… one on my bucket list that I would love to visit one day
So glad you did this. You know how it is as a local... you just kinda take all that stuff for granted. This makes me want to go house museum hopping again.
I appreciate your careful distinction between preservation and restoration!
I love Charleston, Savannah, Boston, so many historic places❤️

We haven’t yet but would love to.
This is just a taste of Charleston's history and beautiful homes. My parents spend every winter there.
Oh my gosh that was a lovely tour ! The houses, the gardens, the Bambi kisses!
I hope you got to tour the Calhoun Mansion. It’s still privately owned and lived in. It’s absolutely amazing.
My god I almost fainted at Drayton hall. It’s just majestic. Imagine it furnished and lit for an evening party.
Thank you for another wonderful presentation! I absolutely loved every single second of your adventure!

Perhaps bell pulls? I looked closely, but couldn't be sure.
Bell pulls!

Welcome to SC! You need to drop in on Greenville sometime. It is awesome to visit and to live in. BTW you won't see many masks in Greenville either. Maybe we can't compete with the coast but oh there is something very special about being at the foot of mountains and the beauty of a downtown waterfall and park. We are packed with history here and the glory of lots of old homes that have been preserved and loved.
Fabulous👍🏻. We toured the Calhoun house when we visited our son. Dig the old homes🌝
