Summerville Walking Tours with Storyteller Tim Lowry

Hauntings on the Sweet Tea Trail 

The disappearing airplane, the drugstore visitor, the earthquake angel, and the Summerville light are just a few of the spooky legends that you can learn on a walk around the town square. Storyteller Tim Lowry will guide the group to several locations to share the stories of these spirits plus impart folk wisdom on how to protect yourself from boo hags and haints!

Ebenezer Scrooge on the Sweet Tea Trail

Join Storyteller Tim Lowry on a stroll through the darkened streets of Summerville as he retells the age old story of Ebenezer Scrooge and his ghostly visitors. See the grave of Jacob Marley, stop by the pub where his death was mourned, and view the perpetual Summerville Snowman who reminds us to “keep Christmas in our hearts all the year.”

History on the Sweet Tea Trail

Storyteller Tim Lowry tells how Indian Tribes, Puritan Missionaries, Wealthy English Planters, and Enslaved African Families all left their mark on Summerville, SC. Plus there was the tragic railroad accident, the man versus horse race, the great earthquake, and the phantom bomber. Not to mention the history of Sweet Tea!
