Imagine traveling back in time in Charleston — maybe you would visit the Roaring Twenties and dance the Charleston , or head back to the summer of 1886 to warn everyone about the infamous earthquake .
The Charleston Time Machine , a Charleston County Public Library resource that recently celebrated its five-year anniversary, is an imaginary time-travel device created by historian Dr. Nic Butler. It’s a podcast + online resource that tells gripping local stories.
