Indian Fields Methodist Campground
On our way to Charleston we made a couple stops. The first was at the Indian Fields Methodist Campground where 100+ cabins are arranged in an octagon around a central chapel.
Next we stopped at Middleton Place, a former plantation and toured the grounds.
In Charleston we met with Stephen Risse, who took us on a walking tour of the city, and told us all about the historic preservation regulations that control most of the city's architecture. The regulations aim at keeping the historical appearance that Charleston has become known for, even going as far as to designate what colour certain buildings can be painted based on how they were painted in the past. At the end of the tour we went to a small building that was tucked in behind a church, and since it was not visible from the street it was allowed to be a very modern looking building.

The City Of Charleston
We arrived at the City of Charleston and received a very in depth exlpanation and tour of Charleston from Michael Maher who is an architect and friend of Ted. Michael is the Director of Charleston Civic Design Center.
Along side visual plates explaining the growth of Charleston over time, there was also a braille version.
