(10-99) White Point Gardens on the battery, Charleston
Located in the heart of
Charlestons historic district, this prominent landmark provides a
spectacular view of Charleston Harbor, where the Ashley and Cooper Rivers
empty into the Atlantic Ocean. It was first used as a public garden in 1837.
With the outbreak of the Civil War, it became a fortification for the city.
Today, you will also find an impressive display of weaponry used to shell
and defend the city
A local Charlestonian may say "The Ashley and Cooper rivers come together to
FORM the Atlantic Ocean" |
