The Preservation Society of Charleston will host a special tour of Charleston's only 20th century neighborhood currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places on Sunday, April 26, 2009 from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.  The tour of Hampton Park Terrace, located adjacent to both the Citadel and Hampton Park, will be a self-paced walking tour including the interiors of eight architecturally significant early 20th century houses which contribute to the character of this important National Register listed Historic District.  The houses on tour will range from an 800 square foot freedman's cottage built circa 1901 to a 1937 Colonial Revival house situated on nearly an acre.  All of the houses on tour are privately owned and are open to the public exclusively for this fundraising event.  Trained volunteer guides will interpret the history, architecture, and decorative arts of each property. 

Tickets are $20 per person and may be purchased only through the Preservation Society of Charleston online or by calling (843) 513-5525.

On the day of the tour, tickets will ONLY be available for purchase at 367 President Street; a private home in Hampton Park Terrace that will function as our ticket office. Tickets will NOT be available in our Book & Gift Shop at 147 King Street.
