Found across the Cooper River from Charleston, Mt. Pleasant is a bustling town amidst the marshes and rivers of South Carolina. The town is part of South Carolina’s checkered past, getting its name from the Mount Pleasant plantation, which was one of the prime properties in the area at its time. Nowadays, the town has since become a destination for learning much about America’s antebellum and slavery years; the former plantation grounds have become residential areas, and its main buildings have turned into museums or venues used to educate visitors.
However, this town has plenty more to offer, such as Mount Pleasant Memorial Waterfront Park where you can enjoy water views, or its military museum - Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum - that harbors the old and retired ships. If you’re visiting this interesting town, be sure to look through our list of the best vacation rentals in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina, for a pleasant stay.
