Part of the mission of the Mayor’s Walled City Task Force is to promote a greater awareness of Charleston’s colonial fortifications—most of which were dismantled long ago or are no longer visible above ground. To this end, the Task Force has hosted several lectures and walking tours, which have been enthusiastically received by the public. In order to provide learning opportunities for a broader audience, however, we will use this website to provide educational resources that can be accessed by anyone in Charleston or beyond! We encourage you to keep visiting this website to see the latest offerings.

We invite you to browse the accompanying pages:
