Explore the iconic Art Deco District with Historic America! The district is home to the largest concentration of Art Deco buildings in the world. That’s exciting for architecture buffs, but it’s also pretty impressive even if you’re not super into design. The creamy pastels, neon lights, and bold geometric designs will undoubtedly win you over. We’ll start on Ocean Drive, with the sandy beach on one side, and a long strip of bars, shops, restaurants and hotels on the other. Our tour will immerse you in the heart of South Beach, showing off the architecture and transporting you to a bygone era. Picturesque as a postcard, seeped in fascinating history, and constantly buzzing with energy, the Art Deco district is a Miami must-see.

South Carolina

Welcome to Historic America’s walking tour of Charleston. We’re glad you could join us! I’m Aaron, your guide (but I also respond to professional history nerd). This is the part of the tour where I fit in my shameless plug for our website (www.historicamerica.org) and invite you to use #historicamericatours on social media while traveling alongside us today. This tour focuses on some of Historic Charleston’s “must see” attractions and gives you a glimpse into the rich history of the city. Highlights include the Charleston City Market, a waterfront park with a view of the the third longest cable-stayed bridge in the Western Hemisphere, the famous Rainbow Row, and the spot where the Civil War began.

During the late 1960s, the Haight-Ashbury was home to the countercultural movement that sought to create a brave new world of free expression, free love, and new possibilities. Along these storied streets, the movement’s followers - hippies - mounted a peaceful revolution against war, conformity, materialism, and oppression. There are at least two sides to every revolution, however, and although the hippie counterculture had its insights, it also had excesses. The hippies were joined by many of the most talented musicians and the most notorious personalities of their era. On this tour, we will explore their stories (along with a few others), ultimately discovering how the “flower children” left an indelible mark on the history of the Haight-Ashbury, San Francisco, and the United States. Alright, let’s chill out, hang loose, and head back to 1967 and the Summer of Love.
