    DID YOU KNOW?

    The John Rutledge House Inn isn`t just a charming place to stay, it`s steeped in American history! This beautiful house was once the home of John Rutledge, the very first Governor of South Carolina. He served on the drafting committee for the U.S. Constitution, and parts of this historic document were actually drafted in the ballroom on our second floor! He was even one of the 55 signers of the Constitution.
