We will stop by and hear it’s story. Way back on February 12th, 1736 the original Dock Street Theater opened. And it was the first building in America built exclusively for theatrical performances.

This old house was a pirate tavern, a law firm and now a gallery. And some say it’s haunted. We will stop by the outside and hear it’s story.

Unfortunately Charleston has quite the history in the slave trade. This building once held a slave auction house. We stop by the front and hear it’s story but do not enter.
