The only home of a signer of the Constitution that serves as a living national landmark and inn. One of the fifty-five signers of the U.S. Constitution, John Rutledge, built his stately home in 1763 at its famous Broad Street address. Through the centuries, Rutledge's home has been remodeled and repurposed, taking on its role as an inn in 1989. The inn's rich history tells stories of sipping afternoon tea with President George Washington, entertaining President William Howard Taft, and whipping up the first-ever batch of She-Crab Soup.

When I die, I hope I’m a ghost haunting John Rutledge house so I can spend eternity here.

Such a beautiful house! Not only is this place rich in history, but the staff made us feel like we were the most important guests they have ever had.
