Glimpses of Charleston

A local's eye view

You can find this pretty scene in Hampton Park,  the largest public park on the Charleston peninsula. The land which Hampton Park now occupies was by 1769 part of a plantation known as The Grove, or Orange Grove Plantation. Over the years it has been the home for some pretty interesting things, including the South Carolina Inter-State and West Indian Exposition of 1901–1902, which was visited by President Theodore Roosevelt.
