"Ghost" structures - Charles Towne Landing State Historic Site - Charleston - South Carolina
"Ghost" structures (representative house frames) stand in the original locations of homes from that period.
Charles Towne Landing State Historic Site sits on a marshy point, located off of the Ashley River, where a group of English settlers landed in 1670 and established what would become the birthplace of the Carolina colony. Charles Towne Landing introduces visitors to the earliest colonial history of Charleston.
The grounds include 80 acres of gardens, with an elegant live oak alley and the Legare-Waring House. The Experimental Crop Garden showcases crops planted by early colonists for food and profit. While offerings vary seasonally, sugarcane and indigo, two attempted cash crops, are frequently visible.
