If you're looking for a great bike trail in town, the West Ashley Bikeway is a great choice. The paved, 2.5 mile bike trail may be too short for serious cyclists, but it is an ideal area for walkers, runners, and bikers who want a more relaxing, scenic recreation course.
The Charleston Museum has always prided itself in bringing aspects of our history together and presenting them in a truly compelling fashion. Among their many exhibits and attractions, you'll find how the role of textiles played a vital part in the Civil War in a popular exhibit called the Threads of War. Also, a similarly themed exhibit focuses on how Charleston survived being under siege during that particular war and how it pressed on to become the vital city that it is today. More interactive adventures like Kids Story and much more continue the museum's rich tradition of reaching into the lives of children who will one day pass the stories and experiences they've learned here along to their own kids.
