We invite you to experience Charleston’s distinctive architecture, history and culture during the Preservation Society of Charleston’s 33rd Annual Fall Tours of Homes and Gardens. Come experience intimate gardens and architecturally significant private homes, churches and public buildings as you stroll through our historic streets.   Tours highlight American architecture from the early Georgian Period into the 20th century.  You will enjoy unique neighborhoods that represent Charleston’s flourishing culture from the Colonial era to the present.   Most of the properties on tour are privately owned and are open to the public exclusively for the Preservation Society of Charleston.

The Preservation Society was founded in 1920 by a small group of Charlestonians concerned with the increasing threat to one of America’s outstanding collections of 18th, 19th and 20th century architecture.  We are proud that the mandate to educate, plan and encourage the preservation of Charleston’s architecture, history and culture continues today in our beloved city.  Join the Society today and receive a 10% discount on the Fall Tours of Homes and Gardens. 

The Fall Tours of Homes and Gardens is the Society’s foremost annual fund raising and educational opportunity.  This five week event is possible only as a result of the generosity of owners of historic properties, loyal Society members and dedicated volunteers.  Our Board of Directors welcomes you and hopes that each guest will come to understand, as we do, that Preservation is Progress.  Join us as together we experience Charleston’s very special sense of place and the unique heritage of this National Historic Landmark city.

Tickets are $45 per person for each individual tour. A special weekend rate of $120 per person is available. (Includes Thursday, Friday, Saturday  OR Friday, Saturday, Sunday evenings’ tours of the same weekend ONLY.)
