Gosh, what a trip. It was the best yet!... Again, thanks for such a wonderful trip.
This overnight field trip introduces students to one of the oldest and most historic cities in America. Located in the heart of the city is the Charleston Museum, the oldest museum in America, housing one of the South's finest Civil War collections as well as detailed natural history exhibits. A 45 minute ferry ride, including a narrated harbor tour, continues the Civil War theme with a self guided tour of Fort Sumter introduced by National Park Service rangers. For an investigation of more recent American history, a visit to Patriot�s Point provides students an extensive tour of the U.S.S. Yorktown (the second) aircraft carrier, a World War II vintage submarine and a retired Coast Guard vessel. For educational evening activities, we offer a �Haunted Legends� walking tour or an IMAX movie. While in Charleston, you may opt to include an Historic District walking tour, a visit to Boone Hall Plantation, a guided Ecological Program, a visit to the South Carolina Aquarium featuring fresh and salt water exhibits and time for souvenir shopping at the Historic City Market (priceless!).
