Join Cedarville University on a regional bus trip as we explore some of the most important historic sites and tourist attractions across the country.
Charleston offers an encounter with American history that few coastal cities rival, from the military and geopolitical significance through the Revolutionary, Civil, and World Wars, to the beautiful yet sobering realities of its plantations, and to its monumental churches and influence on civil and Christian liberty.
This trip is exclusively for Yellow Jackets and friends who are 50 and older. Join our staff- and alumni-led tours and connect with old and new friends through uplifting fellowship. Experience personal growth in spiritual and historical knowledge.
