The State House in Columbia

The sisters decided to fly to Columbia, the state capital of South Carolina. The Capitol is a grand building with 22 solid blue-granite columns (the largest in the United States) lining the porticos. Construction of the building began in 1854 but took many years to complete. In fact, at the end of the Civil War, when General Sherman was burning a path to the sea, this building was spared as it was still unfinished. Ms. Nastee caused a ruckus so a front end loader was used to get her off the premises! See if you can find her.

In Trouble at the Historic Camden Revolutionary War Site

The two sisters visited this Revolutionary War site outside of town. The British took over Camden in 1780 and when the American Continentals and militiamen tried to take it back, the second worst Amercan defeat (after the Siege of Charleston) occurred. The following year, after a smaller battle on nearby Hobkirk Hill, the British decided to leave this fort and return to Charleston. This historic site has both original and replica buildings from the period. Ms. Nastee ended up in the pillory for harassing tourists! Can you find Mrs. Nastee?

The Camden Archives and Museum

Mrs. Nastee and Ms. Nastee sure do like visiting libraries so they went to one of the best genealogical research libraries in South Carolina. They didn't find any Nastees in this part of the country but they enjoyed the 1915 building that used to be Camden's Public Library. Can you find the sisters in this photograph?

Find the Sisters!

Mrs. Nastee and Ms. Nastee decided to while a way some time on the veranda. Can you find them?

Visiting a Single House in Camden

The two sisters visited one of those antique shops which was located in a Charleston single house. This architectual style is perfectly suited for the hot and humid climate of the South.
These houses are only one-room-wide and the narrow end faces the street. Two story verandas stretch down the long side. A porch is a nice place to spend some time even in January!

Going to Camden

The two sisters, Mrs. Nastee and Ms. Nastee, decided to visit Camden, South Carolina. The township was founded in 1733 and is the oldest inland city in South Carolina. It was first known as Pine Tree Hill but was renamed in 1768 after Charles Pratt Lord Camden, a member of the British Parliament who was in favour of the rights of the colonies. There are many antique shops in Camden so Ms. Nastee picked herself up a Pocket Pig to save money for her next adventures!
