Experience the only publicly available historic walking tour in Mt. Pleasant - an area that dates back just as old as peninsular Charleston but one that most people never have the opportunity to learn about.

Start the tour by meeting your local (and licensed) guide: Capt Bryan. After a brief introduction, take a short walk to the oldest house in Mt. Pleasant to talk about the area's first settlers and a famous revolutionary war battle.

From there, head over to Shem Creek proper to take an insider look at the shrimping industry, a staple of the area for many generations with several seafood markets with a variety of species. Watch as the tour guide shows how to throw a cast net or bring up a crab trap for an up-close view of some blue crab.

At the end of the tour, leave with a well-defined sense of the wonderful culture this creek has hosted since the first colonists and well before that.
