There is a lot of information about the "Swamp Fox", Francis Marion. The museum then processes through the American history.

The meat didn't seem to be the best quality and was fatty. There was a Peña colada drink that everyone seemed to be sipping however due to the length of the line I was unable to try it. Entrance was 10 dollars not sure if that was per person, They didn't charge me but overall it was an ok festival the live band was definitely the best part!

The tacos pictures were my favorite dish I had out there. The entertainment was good as well. Even though I spent most of my time there in line for the food. They didn't really have a kids' corner like they previously had. No jump castles or anything, only a small soccer field. I was a little disappointed about that because my lottle cousins were with us and I wanted tontire them out! Lol. But over all, thr experience was good. They had a lot of vendors out there candles, purses, jewelry, you name it, rhey had it. I wish I had more time to try all thr food spots, but tlwith the lines being ad long as they were, it was easily a 45 min or more wait for almost all the food trucks. All in all, if you haven't gone, you should check it our. It's good for thr whole family.

Drayton Hall is beautiful and is filled with rich history of slave life and family heritage. It's…read moreworth it to take 1-2 hours out of your day to enjoy the property! The entrance fee is $32 dollars. It is $18 for ages 7-15, and ages 7 and under are free. You save $3 if you pay online. The extensive driveway and parking lot is not paved and was pretty bad for potholes last February. We arrived about 5 minutes after the 4:00 o'clock tour, and the staff were kind enough to take us to our tour group via a golf cart. If you want to see the inside of the plantation, you HAVE to take a guided tour. The guided tour lasts about 1-1.5 hours and is extremely detailed with many points of interest and knowledgeable tour guides. Parking may be an issue if busy, but there is an auxiliary lot so you should be alright. After your tour is complete, there are some small cottages to explore on your own, a gift shop, and a small museum. Out of all the things to do in Charleston, Drayton Hall should be towards the top of your list. We had a good time!

Drayton Hall is a plantation that is in a state of conservation. There is a tendency in the area to…read moretry to conserve rather than restore buildings. About 20 miles SE of Summerville and on the right bank of the Ashley River and the pretty Hwy 61 is located this Palladian style mansion that survived both the Revolutionary war and the Civil War and that means a lot when you consider that the Revolutionary War was won in South Carolina regardless of what some will say, you win some and you lose some. The tendency to conserve rather than to restore makes you use your imagination to see how this house must've been back in the early days. Some of the materials were imported from the old world like the heavy columns, quite an achievement considering today would require the use of heavy cranes so the use of labor and imagination directing a large number of people must've been a delicate task. Can't deny the fact that they acknowledge that enslaved people took an important roll in building and running this place, delicate subject but well recognized by the tour guide and the museum in site. The house is the focus of the 600 acre property that was in the hands of seven generations of the Drayton family, amazing structure considering there were no Palladian architects in the area back in 1738 when John Drayton bought the land and it took him 15 years to build. A lot a lot more can be said about this place but I am not a historian just simply recommend everyone to come and experience this place that will transport you in time and will make you appreciate history and legacy. Just wish money was no object to the conservation effort.

Still don't love it, but once you step foot on to the large open field, the music slowly growing in volume, rides starting to turn, yea, it does. A preemptive apology for only one food picture, it took all that I had within me to steer 230lbs of dogs from hyper induced scent stimuli tracking and tracing. The brisket, seafood, other dogs rear ends, they were in sniffing shangrala heaven from start to finish, so my time revolved around apologizing and avoided a second near miss face plant, twisted ankle or wrenched hammy due to an inordinate amount of these large grey outer space cosmic rocks that lay strewn across the entire perimeter. I'm thinking my movements resembled that of a one man and two dog drunkin' konga line. Second truck available -- Shrimp Po Boy, my kinda breakfast food. Eleven dollars -- a bit steep, but after a chatting up with the owner it all made perfect sense. Bread from New Orleans, local shrimp, you get the picture and that folks concludes my food pictures--made up for it with the successful truck pictures whilst battling the many adverse conditions. The weather pleasant, a layer or two extra was all I needed, a bit over cast but to drink and eat and frolic among the many tasty options in late January? No brainer. I chased the shrimp with a large black coffee from a crimson red truck (or was it an inflatable stand? I can't recall) shaped like a mug, then headed for the Bloody Mary booth and carefully double fisted a turn and onward to the Cuban sandwiches. But my walking pattern was all wrong and I then diverted to a one by one truck stop plan of attack. Music now growing louder, people now filling in faster -- so I thought it best to make haste, as I will here, as my arms lengthened now spanned from 35 and a half inches to an elongated 36 and a quarter. The center of the field was well set up nicely with a very long table and a few satellite tables scattered around the corners. Stuck at the far left was some corporate booths for phones and cars and such, along with some tee shirts, wood and local leather workings. And that about says it. Easy access on and off the highway, reasonable parking but it's what on the inside that counts and the 8th Annual Charleston Food Truck Festival was a wonderful event to be sure.

We had our monthly golf outing here yesterday. $45 rate for a Saturday was fantastic…read more The facilities are great and the golf course was in fine shape. So many undulations and moguls lining the fairways and on the greens. I lost 3 sleeves of balls, which isn't at all unusual as I've been known to hit the ball in some very unexpected (and unplanned directions). We play best ball so it goes a lot faster and my teammates really picked me up when I hit to unusual places. The greens, while not all looking in top form, were very puttable and fairly easy to read. And we did have some long putts, some of which fell in the cup. We had 2 putts of 16' or more drop in. Woot! I can't think of any aspect of this experience that wasn't top notch. The staff, everywhere on the course and in the clubhouse were very friendly and accommodating. I look forward to coming back sometime soon. This was a great experience in every way. I did toss my 31-year old Sand Wedge into the lake on #14. It was a beautiful toss and I bid farewell to a club that used to serve me very well. But it was beyond its usefulness. So Rest In Peace dear Sand Wedge. I'll be back to visit you.

I've held off leaving this review over my last few rounds there, not something I normally do. It's…read morethe closest course to my house so naturally it's the course I play the most. The course is much improved over the last few years and generally love the layout. The gentlemen at the clubhouse, believe it's John, is miserable anytime I get there or call to inquire about heading out there. Instead of welcoming you to come play or just being decent. He comes off miserable and like I'm inconveniencing him anytime I get there or call to check availability. It's either "well the course is packed and you won't be able to move quickly" or "we got a lot of rain so I shouldn't even be letting people out" or "the cart has to be in by 8 and it's slow out there so I don't even know how many holes you can get in". I'll take my money to Santee, the courses are nicer, the price is more competitive and the customer service is a mile better. I won't be playing Pine Forest any longer, done giving my money to course that doesn't seem like they want it.

Interesting work by local artists!…read more Since it's run by the City of North Charleston's Cultural Arts Department, the gallery is able to display work that's outside of the box. Very different feel than most galleries in Charleston which are more concerned with sales than promoting interesting art and artists. When you purchase artwork at PCG, your money goes directly to supporting artists- it's a 15% commission rather than the typical 50% or more. I would love to see more places like this in Charleston- places that provide real support for artists and contribute meaningfully to the community.
