These regal lions are on guard outside of a house (c. 1850) on Tradd Street, that was built by William C. Bee — best known as the owner of the premier blockade running business during the Civil War.

A beautiful array of Sweetgrass baskets for sale on Meeting Street. Tracing their origin back to the 1600’s with the arrival of enslaved Africans, they were originally used to separate rice seed from its chaff. Now they are treated as works of art, including some that are on permanent display in the Smithsonian Museum (and others).
