Charleston Trip Highlights ✨

Having grown up in South Carolina, I’ve visited Charleston many times 🏘️. Though I hadn’t returned since 2004, the city’s charm remains—even as it has evolved. One unforgettable experience was the Historical Dinner at the South Carolina Historical Museum, a brilliantly designed and thoughtfully executed event that immerses guests in the city’s rich past 🕰️. Here’s what made it extraordinary: 🍽️ A Taste of History: The menu spanned three centuries, with each dish carefully researched, prepared, and presented—all enjoyed with authentic Spode china and period-appropriate cutlery. Every bite told a story 😋. 🍷 Sip Like the Past: We toasted with Madeira wine—the go-to drink of colonial Charleston! Back then, European wines often spoiled during long sea voyages, but Madeira thrived, making it the preferred choice 🥂. 🎤 Engaging & Educational: A two-hour historical talk wove together Charleston’s culinary traditions, colonial life, wartime struggles, and the profound contributions of African people. It showed how these threads intertwined to shape this unique city 🧵📜. If you want to experience Charleston authentically, don’t miss this dinner. It’s more than a meal—it’s a journey through time 💫❤️. #Charleston #HistoryAlive #SouthernHeritage #FoodieHistory #MustDoCharleston
