The city was just voted America's best small city by Conde Nast Traveler, after previously earning the distinction in 2015, as well. Amy Bookout is a teacher in the California Bay Area who was visiting Charleston for the first time in August, and she loved it. The Edmondston-Alston House, for example, offers tours of an incredible home built in 1825, and features views of Charleston Harbor. The Heyward-Washington House also offers great tours of a townhouse built in the 18th Century for one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, and it’s been completely restored to its 1770’s splendor. Magnolia Plantation offers great tours that also explore the horrific legacy of slavery and the brutal conditions enslaved workers suffered.
