Sgt. Jasper and the South Carolina Flag

Ever wonder why South Carolina is called the Palmetto State and why there's a palmetto tree and crescent on our state flag. As Eric explains in today's virtual tour video, it all goes back to the Battle of Sullivan's Island.

Trumbull's Revenge

Be careful what you wish for when you're dealing with an angry artist. City of Charleston leaders found that out the hard way when they turned down a painting they commissioned and told the painter he had to do another one. Today's Charleston history video shows you what the artist did.

Ghost of the Old Exchange Building

We all learned about Francis Marion in school, but I don't remember any mention of Isaac Hayne in history classes. He was an unsung hero of the Revolution, who died at the hands of the British. If you visit the Old Exchange Building, you might just run into him today, as he is one of the spirits still hanging out there.
