Relive the Civil War at Fort Sumter
Separated from Charleston by the Ashley River, James Island was once dotted with Sea Island cotton plantations. Today it's interspersed with small neighborhoods, historic sites and, of course, ancient live oak trees. While it's just a 10-minute drive from downtown Charleston, you'll feel as if you're worlds away from the lively port city. Just offshore is Fort Sumter, a manmade island formed from 10,000 tons of imported New England granite and 60,000 tons of other rocks. This is where the first shots of the Civil War were fired, back in 1861.
