Hey, Charleston. We’re excited to introduce you to a new section of our newsletter, created in partnership with Explore Charleston: #LiveLocal. It’s where we’ll highlight different ways you (our locals) can best experience your city. First up: 11 best house tours in Charleston.

Ever take for granted that you live in one of the oldest cities in the U.S.? It happens. Charleston is home to some of the grandest historic residences in America, letting us take a step past the gates + piazzas to experience the architecture, works of art + lifestyle of the 19th century.

Click here for a full list of the historic homes right in our backyard, from the site where General P.G.T. Beauregard watched the bombardment of Fort Sumter (which signaled the start of the Civil War) to the house which once served as a private hotel for George Washington. It might be time to brush up on your history.
