Octogenarian Emily Whaley is one of Charleston's most famous residents. For more than 60 years, she has been cultivating a delightful garden in the small space behind her home. In 1997, she came out with a precious tome entitled "Mrs. Whaley and her Charleston Garden" (Algonquin Books) full of wisdom about not only plants, but life. She graciously allows visitors into her backyard to see the small paradise, as long as they don't step on the grass. Get a 360-degree peek here. 
The first shots of the Civil War were fired at this fort, built on a manmade island in Charleston Harbor. Get a view inside or outside the fort. 
There is no better place for a stroll in Charleston than along the sea wall that protects these stately antebellum homes. Get the full view of one of the city's most scenic spots. 
Built in 1825, the Edmonston-Alston House is the only grand home along the Battery that is open to the public. During the Civil War, its piazzas offered such a splendid view of the harbor that Confederate General Pierre Beauregard and others watched the bombardment of Fort Sumter from them. See the library, the music room, or the piazza.
