When you think of Charleston — history, culture, and architecture probably come to mind. It wouldn’t be out of the ordinary to walk down a cobblestone alleyway, come upon a historic home, and spot a lush secret garden.

What if we told you that you could take a closer look? The Fall Tours, an annual event by the Preservation Society of Charleston, is coming up next month, and tickets are still available for select programs.

From Wednesday, Oct. 9 to Saturday, Nov. 2, attendees will learn about local architecture, landscapes, neighborhoods, and cultural heritage and experience it all first-hand. Pro tip: Wear comfortable walking shoes, trust us.

This year’s offerings include a wide range of experiences like the Insider’s Garden Tours, the Insider’s History and Architecture Tours, and Specialty Hard Hat Tour.
