There is so much to do in Charleston this time of year, and the cooler temperatures and crystal clear blue skies make walking through the city a pleasure. Be sure to tuck this copy of Charleston Gateway in your bag before you head out for the day. In it, you’ll find a wealth of information about our city and the many activities available.

The Lowcountry is steeped in the culture and heritage of the Gullah people. Our cuisine, customs and even our accents have their roots in the traditions of enslaved West Africans. Magnolia Plantation and Gardens has a new tour, “From Slavery to Freedom: The Magnolia Cabin Project,” which provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of the Gullah culture and its impact on our lives. Before you visit, read our “Uniquely Charleston” feature for more information.

Summerville is just a short drive from down-town Charleston and is the home of a unique, permanent, outdoor sculpture exhibit. Stroll through downtown and see the history and cul-ture of Summerville depicted in artistic expres-sion. Our “Spotlight on the Arts” feature has more information and descriptions of selected sculptures.

If you are visiting the Holy City during the holiday season, you are in for a treat. There are activities for everyone’s taste held throughout our area from mid-November through the end of the year. We have compiled some of the best in our “Holiday Charleston” article.

We are glad you choose to visit Charleston. Our city is the perfect spot for a relaxing vacation. Enjoy our history, delicious food and unique attractions. And, our one-of-a-kind shops and markets are the perfect place to get a head start on the holiday shopping. Eat, drink and be merry!

The 38Th AnnuAlFAll Tour oF homes

OCTOBER 2-26, 2014

For tickets or more information please call 843-722-4630, or visit www.thefalltours.org.

The Preservation Society of Charleston will host its 38th Fall Tours October 2nd – 26th, 2014. The beauty and historic charm of Charleston come alive as friends of the Preservation Society of Charleston welcome you into the private interiors of some of the nation’s most exquisite historic homes. Guests experience firsthand the rich history of Southern culture, architec-ture and hospitality on Charleston’s Fall Tour of Homes. Discover the stories of these magnificent residences and the people who have lived in them for centuries and learn why visitors from all over the world are still drawn to this special place today.

The Fall Tours begin on Thursday, October 2nd, with tours featuring Charleston’s Cosmopolitan Legacy. All Thursday tours explore the diverse cultural influences that shaped life in 18th and 19th century Charleston, the rich ethnic traditions, skills and religious ideologies that blended together to establish Charleston as the cosmopolitan hub of life in America. Significant eras of Charleston history are

the focus of Friday’s tours, from its begin-nings as a proprietary English colony to rebuilding after the Civil War. Friday, October 10th is a Candlelight Tour, always a favorite among guests. Saturday tours focus on the beautiful architecture, inte-riors and classical gardens found within Charleston’s historic neighborhoods. Showcasing the city’s architecturally signif-icant properties from the Georgian style to modern periods, Sunday’s tours are perfect for those who love old houses and are fascinated by the people who lived in them, offering a trip back in time.

New in 2014, Historic Preservation Orientation Tours will start at 9:30 am each morning of the tours. Interiors are not included, and tickets are $25 per person. Your afternoon and evening tour experience will allow for access into several homes or gardens each day where trained docents will explain the history of these structures and spaces. Pleasantly warm afternoons and crisp evening air make fall the ideal season for a walking tour in Charleston.

Charleston’s Historic Market

Charleston Historic Market is one of the area’s must see attractions. Having survived a tumultuous past, the Market has outlasted tornadoes, hurricanes, a major earthquake and devastation by fires and Civil War bombardment. Over 200 years ago, a wealthy Charleston family willed land to the town of Charleston to be used as a public market, with the stipulation that the property revert to the family if used for any other purpose. To this day, the charming Charleston City Market is a popular destination for visitors and locals alike.

Uniquely CharlestonFrom Slavery to FreeDom:

The mAGnoliA CAbin projeCT Tour

Located off of scenic Ashley River Road, Magnolia Plantation and Gardens is known as one of “America’s Most Beautiful Gardens,” and is the only garden honored with this distinction in the Palmetto State.

Magnolia’s Cabin Project began more than ten years ago in an effort to preserve five historic structures that date back to 1850. The restored cabins were opened to the public in 2008, and the former dwellings of enslaved West Africans now serve as the focal point for an award-winning 45-minute program in African-American history.

Magnolia recognizes the importance of acknowledging the vital role that Gullah people and culture plays in any interpretation of Lowcountry history. By addressing this often overlooked part of the region’s nar-rative, Magnolia seeks to respectful-ly afford credit where credit is due. For example, the foundations of the rice culture, which made many plan-tation owners very wealthy, came from the knowledge and skills of enslaved West Africans. Lowcountry cuisine also has its roots directly in this culture, with substitutions made to accommodate local ingredients.

Charleston has been named one of the friendliest cities in the county, and that friendliness has its roots in the social habits of West Africans, where visitors are always treated like family.

Guests have the option to take a shuttle to the cabins, where they will experience an engaging and interac-tive discussion of the dynamic issues that shape this delicate inquiry. Afterward, time is given to allow everyone the opportunity to explore each cabin to appreciate the lengthy period in which the buildings were actively occupied - from the 1850s to the 1990s. This arc of history conveys the tumultuous times con-tinuously challenging African-American families from slavery, the Jim Crow/segregation era and through the modern Civil Rights period.

Magnolia promises visitors will leave with a newfound perspective rooted in cutting-edge historical and archae-ological studies that consistently serve to inform and astonish all who visit. One family, who still live on Magnolia Plantation, make up the majority of Magnolia’s gardening staff, and are actual descendants of those enslaved on the plantation. The oldest member of this family, Mr. Johnny Leach, lived in one of the cabins until 1969, and it has been restored partially through his memories. Two other cabins were inhabited until 1991. The Cabin Project highlights the different peri-ods in history when these small structures were home to generations of families.

Founded in 1676 by the Drayton family, Magnolia Plantation has survived the centuries and witnessed the history of our nation unfold before it, from the American Revolution through the Civil War and beyond. It is the oldest public tourist site in the Lowcountry, and the oldest public gardens in America, opening its doors to visitors in 1870 to view the thousands of beautiful flowers and plants in its famous gardens. Admission to The Magnolia Cabin Project Tour is $8 per person with paid garden admission, children under 6 free. Magnolia Plantation and Gardens is open 365 days a year, including all national holidays.

St. James-Santee Parish, the region that surrounds present-day McClellanville, was incorporated into the Church of England in 1706 and was the first parish organized outside of Charles Town. The area, however, was settled as early as 1685, primarily by French Huguenots. By the time the parish was incorporated, there were both French and English families in the area.

The richly endowed region lent itself to an agrarian economy --- indigo, rice, and cotton, and by 1735 homes of architectural significance could attest to the prosperity of the parish. The name St. James-Santee Parish became synonymous with rice plan-tations, homes of architectural grandeur and culture.

The land on which the village was built was formerly two tracts, that of Archibald James McClellan and a Mr Matthews that was bought by Richard Tillia Morrison, the dividing line being present-day Oak Street. These two plantation owners sold lots along Jeremy Creek to some of the rice planters of the Santee region and a small summer resort soon developed. The village was nameless for some

lowCounTry bACkroADs:HiStoric aND cHarmiNg

mcclellaNville

Lowcountry Back Roads

years. It was finally agreed that the name should be McClellanville for the oldest settlers, the McClellan family.

Over the years the village would become known for growing a great variety of produce, the distillation of salt during the Civil War, timber harvesting, the production of turpentine and tar, and in recent years, harvesting of its famous Bull’s Bay oysters, clams and shrimp.

In the late 1930s the Cape Romain Wildlife Refuge was established to protect the islands, bays, and marsh-lands that form the coastline at McClellanville; while the Francis Marion National Forest was developed to manage the surrounding woodlands. Learn about the nearby forest and the wildlife that inhabits it by visiting the Seewee Environmental Visitor Center on Highway 17, on your way back to Charleston.

In 1989, the town was devastated by the full brunt of Hurricane Hugo which destroyed homes, downed century old oaks, deposited shrimp boats in front yards, and otherwise altered much of the picturesque character of this his-toric fishing village. The stronger north side of the eyewall of this Category 4 storm passed directly over the village. Residents taking refuge in the local high school, a designated storm shel-ter, were surprised by a 20 foot storm surge which threatened to drown the refugees. Helping one another in

complete darkness, they managed to crawl into a space above the false ceilings of the building and, fortu-nately, none were lost.

Though ravaged by numerous storms, McClellanville retains its quaintness and charm. It is today a self-sufficient village of schools, historic churches, beautiful homes, a few shops and docking facilities which attest to an economy now largely dependent upon the sea rather than the land.

A visit to McClellanville is not com-plete without tasting some of the delicious local seafood. T.W. Graham, on Pinckney Street, beckons you to EAT with a sign placed on the sidewalk in front of the rustic building, and the eclectic, funky interior is inviting. The restaurant is known for its fresh, local shrimp and homemade chowder. Hours are 11 am- 3 pm for lunch, Tuesday through Sunday. Dinner is also served Thursday through Saturday.

After lunch, relax with a stroll through the surrounding shops, and take advan-tage of the fall weather with a walk through the oak-lined streets. Pinckney Street ends at Town Hall, with fan-tastic views of Jeremy Creek dotted with weather beaten shrimp boats. The beauty of this area serves not only as home to many who earn their living from the sea, but as inspiration for a growing number of artists and writ-ers. Enjoy your visit to McClellanville!

Known as the birthplace of Sweet Tea, the tea plant was imported to the Lowcountry and landed about 20 miles inland, in Summerville, in the late 1700s by way of the Ashley River. Tea was eventually success-fully grown on Summerville’s Pine-hurst Tea Plantation until the plants were moved to Wadmalaw Island at the beginning of the twentieth century. Summerville’s Sweet Tea

Historic Downtown Charleston,

the Confederate Museum is oper-

ated by the South Carolina Ladies

Auxiliary of the United Daughters

of the Confederacy, a group that

re-enacts the lives of their ancestors

in the 1860s. The museum features

fascinating memorabil ia from

the American Civil War, many of

which were donated by actual Civil

War veterans or their families.

Descriptions of the pieces were

written by those who donated them,

giving the museum a person touch.

Artifacts on display include buttons,

coats, swords, flags, diaries, letters,

pens, locks of hair, shoes, bullets

and much more. Many visitors note

the diminutive size of the uniforms

worn by the young soldiers of the

time.

The site of this building was orig-

inally occupied by the Masonic

Hall, which was completely destroyed

by fire in 1838. Market Hall was

built in 1841 with Edward Brickell

White as architect. It is a copy of

the Temple of the Wingless Victory

in Athens, Greece. In the spring

of 1861, Market Hall was needed

for a different purpose. Thousands

of young men came to Charleston

to enlist in the Confederate Army,

and their immediate destination

was Market Hall.

In 1894 the Charleston Chapter,

Daughters of the Confederacy was

founded. They immediately start-

ed collecting relics and the collec-

tion grew quickly. By 1898 the

ladies group became Charleston

Chapter #4, United Daughters of

the Confederacy. In 1899 the reunion

of the United Confederate Veterans

was to be held in Charleston, and

the men decided to help the ladies

form a permanent Confederate

Museum. A call went out for dona-

tions to the museum and with the

great response it was decided that

there was a need for a large build-

ing. Since the Mayor and council-

men were all former Confederate

soldiers, it was only natural they

choose Market Hall since that is

where many of them signed up as

young soldiers.

The Confederate Museum opened

in 1899. The building is owned by

the City of Charleston and leased

to Charleston Chapter #4, UDC.

Hurricane Hugo damaged the build-

ing but no relics were destroyed

and only a few had water damage.

The museum was displaced for

fourteen years and reopened in

2003. The relics remain in the

loving care of Charleston #4 to be

preserved for the future.

Tour guides at the museum are

members of Charleston Chapter

#4, who willingly share their exten-

sive knowledge of the Confederacy

with visitors. For more information,

call 843-723-1541. Museum hours

are Tuesday – Saturday, 11am-3:30

Spotlight on the Arts

Just 20 miles west of Charleston, Summerville was established as a summering village for Charleston businessmen and their families. Qualities important in the 1700 and 1800s, which are still import-ant today, included leadership, service to others, families and the environment.

Since its beginnings in 1999, Sculpture in the South has installed 25 fig-urative bronzes in the permanent collection. Take the short drive to the historic town of Summerville and enjoy the permanent sculpture pieces and read the inspirational stories of how they came to be.

Sculpture in the South’s permanent collection reflects the community values of this lovely town . Community leadership is recognized in the bronze portrait of long-time Summerville mayor Berlin G. Myers. Located near Town Hall, the plinth on which

the sculpture is located cites his military service, landing in France on D-Day, as well as his service to the town.

In the small park behind Town Hall is “Everyday Heroes,” honoring all public service heroes. Although the bronze is of a kneeling firefighter, plaques are included for police officers, emergency medical per-sonnel and others. The sculpture becomes a focal point for the com-munity on the occasion of local and national observances, such as for 9-11 memorials.

Service to others is recognized in the bronze dog, “Toby,” which sits obediently beside a bench in Azalea Park. Toby honors all those “angels among us” who offer aid and assis-tance during times of need. The original “Toby” befriended a ter-minally ill man, standing beside him throughout his illness.

SculPture iN tHe SoutH’S PermaNeNt collectioN

Families, especially children, make up one the largest components of Sculpture in the South’s permanent collection. Six figures comprise “Follow the Leader,” a collection of children and a dog walking along a brick wall. The most-photographed bronzes in the collection, the arrange-ment encourages interaction by children. Often grandparents and parents can be seen posing their young ones amongst the figures.

The active and passive delights of childhood can be seen in “Dreamin’ of the Big Game” and “For Wind and Waves,” sculptures located in two parks, Gahagan and Azalea. “Dreamin’ “depicts a kneeling 6-year-old boy with ball and glove, while “For Wind and Waves” features a little girl sitting on a wall and reading a book.

The environment throughout the world is represented in the second largest component of the collection. Local animals include the southern

leopard frog via the 53-inch“Hop To It,” the first purchase made by Sculpture in the South. Others include the 7-foot tall “Heron and the Sun” and the similarly sized “River Rapture,” a fresh-water otter. For whimsy and a world-view, there’s “Free Ride,” a life-sized hippo in a pond at the neighborhood park. A long-legged bird, known as purple gallinule, rides on its back.

The permanent collection is enhanced by B.I.R.D.S., a collection of life-sized indigenous birds, installed throughout downtown Summerville. B.I.R.D.S. is a cooperative effort of Sculpture in the South, the Audubon Center at Francis Beidler Forest and DREAM, a downtown Summerville booster group. A scav-enger hunt encourages young and old to appreciate the environment and its native inhabitants.

More information about the permanent collection and BIRDS is available at www.sculptureinthesouth.com. Maps are available

to locate the installations throughout the community.

Crowd Pleaser

Take the drive to Edisto Island on Saturday, October 11, 2014, for the annual Tour of Historic Plantation, Churches and Graveyards. Sponsored by the Edisto Island Historic Preservation Society, this year’s tour features the following prop-erties: Sunny Side Plantation, Cypress Trees Plantation, Blue House Plantation, Jack Daw Hall, “At Ease” Beach House, the Murray and Jenkins Cemeteries, Zion Reformed Episcopal Church, Old First Baptist Church, Trinity Church, and the Presbyterian Church on Edisto Island.

About an hour’s drive south of Charleston, Edisto Island is one of South Carolina’s Sea Islands. The larger part of the island is located in Charleston County, with its

southern tip in Colleton County. Originally inhabited by the Edisto tribe of Native Americans, the first tracts of land, called plantations, were granted before 1700. Cotton gradually became the principal crop, and after the American Revolution, Edisto Island planters became wealthy from their produc-tion of long-staple Sea Island cot-ton, once known as the finest cotton in the world. The labor was done by hundreds of enslaved Afri-c a n s w h o deve loped the Creo leGullah language and culture on the islands and in the Lowcountry, distinctive for its African traditions. Since the twentieth century, the island has been responsibly rede-veloped for use as a tourist desti-nation and resorts, although some private plantations remain.

Edisto Island & Beyond Tour tickets are $45 each.For more information, call 843-869-1954 or

What’s Cooking

PECAN PRALINESINGREDIENTS• 4 cups granulated sugar• 1 cup light cream• 5 cups chopped pecans• 1 teaspoon salt

Boil 3 cups of sugar with cream until it forms a soft boil. Mean-while, caramelize the remaining cup of sugar in an iron skillet. Combine boiled sugar and cream with the caramelized sugar, being sure the pot is very large as the caramelized sugar foams a great deal when added to the cream and sugar. Add salt and nuts and beat vigorously until creamy. Drop by spoonfuls on buttered paper.

Mrs. Carton G. Davies (Harriet Goodacre)Charleston Receipts

Editor’s Note: Th ere are several good tutorials online that ex-plain in detail how to caramelize sugar. For this recipe, use the “dry” method.
