Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum in the Charleston Harbor is home to the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown. In addition to the museum, you can tour the hangar and the flight simulator, and watch the 1944 film “The Fighting Lad.” Strolling on the docks of the creek at Shem Creek Park is a wonderful way to observe the wetlands. Off the beaten path, short trails wind through the marshes. After taking in the dazzling sunset, a seafood dinner at one of the local eateries is the perfect way to end the outing. Mt. Pleasant Memorial Waterfront Park is known as the "Crown Jewel of Mount Pleasant." Along with scenic views of the Charleston Harbor, at the base of the Ravenel Bridge you will find the Sweetgrass Cultural Arts Pavilion, a War Memorial and food concessions.
Enter through the "Avenue of Oaks" at Boone Hall Plantation and be whisked back to the Old South. You can tour the mansion, view a live presentation on the culture adopted by the slaves and take a tour of the eight original slave cabins featuring relics of the era. Called the "Forgotten Founder," Charles Pinckney was a principal author and signatory to the U.S. Constitution.
