WORTH NOTING

Edmondston-Alston House. In 1825, Charles Edmondston built this house in the Federal style on Charleston’s High Battery. About 13 years later, second owner Charles Alston began transforming it into the Greek Revival structure seen today. The home is furnished with family antiques, portraits, silver, and fine china. 21 E. Battery, South of Broad 843/722–7171 www.edmondstonalston.com $12.

Old Exchange Building & Provost Dungeon. FAMILY Built as a customshouse in 1771, this building once served as the commercial and social center of Charleston. It was the site of many historic events, including the state’s ratification of the Constitution in 1788 and two grand celebrations hosted for George Washington. However, the place was also used by the British to house prisoners during the Revolutionary War, an ordeal detailed in one of the exhibits. Costumed interpreters bring history to life on guided tours, and kids are fascinated by the period mannequins on display in the dungeon. 122 E. Bay St., South of Broad 843/727–2165 www.oldexchange.org $10.
