  • Loved visiting this church! Beautiful windows and holy water font. Wish there had been a handout of the history. Of course, I can look that up.

  • Interesting interior, unusual pew design, and you can see the pew where George Washington sat. Worth 5-10 minutes of your time, not more than that for me.

  • St. Michael's is a beautiful 18th-century church and well maintained. It is usually open for visitors outside of services.

  • Beautiful piece of history. That history may be terrible or grand, depending on perspectives, but it is still a vital part of the fabric of our country.
  • Beautiful church worth walking through for the beauty and history which is very interesting. Beautiful stained glass and an organ which is quite impressive. Go early during the week as the walking tour groups can make it hard to walk through.
  • Beautiful, historical resting place of Charles Cotesworth Pinckney and John Rutledge, two signers of the U. S. Constitution, and many others. The grounds are well maintained and the ancient stones are lined with blooming plants in contrast of newness of life. Sense the heritage, feel the tranquility and never lose touch but embrace the passing of time. The church itself was not open for viewing.
  • Beautiful, classic church in Charleston SC. Very historic building. Multiple presidents have worshipped here. Went as part of Downtown Charleston walking tour. Definitely worth going with a guide to get the history. But, just beautiful on own.
  • Very pretty church with wonderful architecture and history. I wasn’t able to be there for a service but I thoroughly enjoy yes walking through. It was a beautiful church, but I think there are even brighter and prettier ones in town.
