Beaufort, South Carolina, is a city steeped in history, where moss-draped oaks line the streets of a well-preserved historic district dating back to the 1700s. The Carriage Ghost Tour invites visitors to experience this charming town after dusk, from the comfort of a horse-drawn carriage that gently rolls past centuries-old homes, churches, and cobblestone streets.
