Charleston-area founders and prominent figures are the focus of A Walk in the Dark, where local-history storytelling unfolds along a guided evening walk through Spring Hill Cemetery Park and Arboretum.
Period-dressed re-enactors share stories about the area’s founders and other prominent figures. The event description does not identify specific historical characters, so the announced focus is Charleston-area history broadly rather than a named roster.
Visitors travel in guided groups over a short paved loop through the cemetery grounds. Lantern-carrying guides lead the way as re-enactors share stories along the route, making this an outdoor walk rather than a stationary talk.
