It's a long walk, but nice if the weather is fitting. This is worth a visit, especially if you're into American history. George Washington stayed here while visiting the area. Also, Thomas Heyward was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. While it's not a vast mansion, the house is nicely decorated and the garden in the back was a good touch. The audio tour was informative and allowed you to go at your own pace. The staff here were friendly and helpful. The house is also near a nice residential neighborhood and close to Rainbow Row and the water.

Built in 1772, the Heyward-Washington House earned its moniker for two men who figured prominently in its history, Thomas Heyward Jr. and President George Washington.

The architecture of the three-story red brick double reflects the Georgian style that spread widely through English colonies for its order and symmetry.

As I love walking waterfront and port areas, I took a walk around the Port of Charleston. It…read moreaffords a rather interesting stroll but make no mistake about it. It's not at all like the Port of Miami or Port Everglades of Fort Lauderdale in that is first of all and primarily a commercial, not a cruise ship port. You won't see any long lines of vacationers attempting to catch their cruise ships or the stacked rows of cruise ships awaiting passengers. It does handle cruise ships, it just isn't a standard port of call for them and not all that popular. Though it is the deepest water port in the southeast it only ranks a distant 8th in cargo value. I took a boat ride out into the harbor area and found the views rather striking. Some of the areas around it are of great historic interest, but unlike most waterfront areas not exactly bustling with restaurants, souvenir shops or waterfront activities.

The Port of Charleston and Carnival Cruise Lines provide an affordable, easy, vacation option for…read morelocals. I've cruised from Miami, Port Canaveral, Tampa, and Charleston, and while the other ports offer bigger ships, more cruise lines, and longer trips, you can't beat the convenience of cruising close to home. Currently, the Carnival Ecstasy is home ported in Charleston and sails most every week from this port. It is a smaller and older ship, and cruises are 5 or 7 days. Parking was easy and $20 a day. I would recommend arriving around lunchtime, because if you arrive too early, you cannot access parking until the cruisers from the last trip are out of the lot. Don't eat lunch before, because you can enjoy your first meal at the buffet as soon as you board. After you pay and park, your luggage is taken and placed on the ship, and you board a shuttle to the building and pier. The lines are long but move quickly, and the staff are friendly. Debarkation is even faster. When we returned to port, we opted to carry our own luggage off. We left our room at 8 AM, walked off the ship with our luggage, and quickly got through security and customs. We live in West Ashley and were home before 9 AM- before some cruisers were even off the ship. I'm used to bigger cruise ships with more to do, but cruising from Charleston does make for a relaxing and lower-stress vacation and I would go again.

The front reads, "Haddrell's Point extended along the waterfront from Shem Creek to Cove Inlet and was named for George Haddrell, an early settler. The land bordering Shem Creek became home to important industries including factories, canneries, and rice and saw mills. The mills drew their power from the tides of Shem Creek." And the reverse, "In early 1776, a battery was erected at Haddrell's Point and placed under the command of Brigadier General John Armstrong. The strategic location of the battery was vital in safeguarding Charleston from British attacks. With ceremonial fanfare, President George Washington embarked from Haddrell's Point to Charleston, during his Southern tour in 1791." But in 1775, before that battery mentioned on the marker was completed, Colonel William Moultrie was ordered to construct a fascine battery at Haddrell's Point. Fascines--bundles of sticks used to reinforce earthworks--were employed to quickly build a 58-foot-long fortification armed with four 18-pound cannons. This battery was completed overnight by 200 men under Major Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, who worked under cover of darkness to avoid British fire. The battery's success was immediate. It helped drive off the HMS Tamar and HMS Cherokee, which had been anchored in Charleston Harbor. And during the Civil War, the site of the original fascine battery was repurposed for the Mount Pleasant Mortar Battery and Battery Gary, continuing its legacy as a defensive stronghold. The marker was erected in 2007. There is no sponsor listed on it. There is street parking nearby if you're inclined to visit the site of the original battery.
