Saturday Walking Tour of Ansonborough + Admission to Charleston Antiques Show
March 7, 2020 |
The revitalization of the Ansonborough neighborhood which celebrated its 50th anniversary in April 2019 stands as a national model of preservation at its finest. Tour the neighborhood with a licensed tour guide to learn the history of this grand neighborhood. This purchase includes the Saturday morning walking tour and daily unlimited admission to the Charleston Antiques Show.
As quoted in Ansonborough: From Birth to Rebirth by Christina Butler, “The well maintained Ansonborough of the present stands in stark contrast to the dilapidation of the 1950s. Historic Charleston Foundation, with backing from generous preservation-minded donors, created the Ansonborough Rehabilitation Program to revitalize the area…HCF revitalized Ansonborough into a vibrant and beautiful place. In fact, the Ansonborough Rehabilitation Project for which HCF was presented with the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s highest honor, the Louise DuPont Crowninshield Award, serves as a national model for preservation and is used in hundreds of communities today.”
