Did you know? Charleston is a city steeped in history, and some of its most important moments happened right here at the John Rutledge House Inn. During the Civil War, a cannonball from Union forces struck what is now Room 10. This historic moment, captured in a rare photo of the inn, is just one of many stories held within these walls.
Built in 1763, this iconic house has stood through wars, revolutions, and generations of Charleston history. Today, Room 10 is a guest favorite—not just for its charm but for its unforgettable connection to the past.
