Each time we walked past the narrow entrance on King Street the entrance gates were locked. On the last day of our Charleston visit the gates were open. Glory be! What a pleasant surprise right off the hustle and bustle of King Street. If you have a chance, step inside and breath in the beauty of the garden.

We toured the haunted Unitarian Church Graveyard. This haunted cemetery heart of the historic district is over 200 years old. It has at least 3 haunting souls that many have reported seeing.

We loved waking around the church, as it has a beautiful old cemetery at the back. The two small gates also gives the church some charm.

The architecture in this town is amazing and to see it all you must get out and walk, get up close..

The day we were there two docents who took the time to show us around the church and grounds. We learned much about the history of the church and Charleston. The graveyard is the most scenic and interesting of all. A nighttime visit courtesy of a ghost tour was very informative.

We turned off of busy King street into a promising alley/path that beckoned us to dismiss our plans and follow the path to a fascinating, peaceful, mysterious graveyard attached to this church. Beautifully unkempt and overgrown, this site just begs you to wander and perhaps sit a while and meditate on those who live here eternally. Many of the headstones are difficult to read due to their age, making them all the more fascinating. A beautiful place to spend some quiet time before you step back into the hubbub of the city.

If you like history, or just a quiet stroll through an interesting site, check out the cemetery at the Unitarian Church. It is a wild place, not maintained, but with burial sites you want to explore and read for the cultural and historical value. This cemetery is a marked contrast with the well-manicured cemetery next door. But this is the one we wanted to visit, not the neat one.

My wife and I were walking King Street on morning and happened upon a small path between shops that led to the most amazing cemetery we had ever seen. From the Cemetery we walked into the church, very inspiring. Blew me away that people have the talent to build such a beautiful place to worship.
Well worth seaking out his little place in Charleston.

Church was closed but there is an attractive alleyway off King Street which leads to a rather overgrown yet atmospheric graveyard. The church has an attractive exterior.
