The Strong Women of the South History Tour is an exploration of historical Charleston from the perspective of the founding mothers and women of every color who contributed to our Great American Dream. Along the way, you will discover the beautiful truth: Charleston is the matriarchal capital of the western world, a city once owned and controlled by women. Our exploration begins at the alleged execution site of America's First Female Serial Killer. We stand in the spot where she met her fate and hear her story. Then, you get to decide: was she really a serial killer or a woman protecting her rights! Next, we visit the homes and sites of the “Old Maids," Women’s Rights Activists, Printers, Artisans, Madams, Shopkeepers, and Plantation owners while discovering their contributions and conundrums, all written over by modern history. Last, we visit the homes and shops of the women who built this great city.

Larry was very knowledgeable and his stories were informative. He tended to ramble and the tour should have been 1 1/2 hours instead of the 2:15 it was. Be warned, his appearance is off-putting and if gigantic beards are not your thing, this is not the tour guide for your. He also smelled of alcohol, but he also repeatedly referred to Charleston as a drinking city so that’s on brand for the territory.

Touring with Larry was like being with a master storyteller, enacting the time period in which the story was set. Learned so much about the often untold or overlooked history of women in the USA. Amazing that in just a few blocks of the city, so many women overcame obstacles and hardships to gain their rightful recognition in society. An insightful and educational tour through a historical part of the city, and in the company of a master storyteller!
