Darley Newman's Revolutionary Road Trip Book Tour Comes to Charleston, South Carolina
Charleston, South Carolina is one of the most historically significant cities in America — and the perfect place to launch a book about the hidden stories of the American Revolution.
Emmy Award-winning PBS host, producer, and author Darley Newman is bringing her debut book, Revolutionary Road Trip: Hidden Stories from America's Founding Journey, to the Charleston Gaillard Center on June 28, 2026 at 2:00pm for the first stop on her national book tour. The event is presented in partnership with SC250 Charleston as part of programming celebrating the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution.
Join Darley at The Charleston Gaillard Center on June 28th at 2pm for a Book Tour Live Discussion
This is a conversation-style live event featuring Darley Newman exploring the power of place, history, and storytelling — with curated audience questions. The program runs approximately 80 minutes with no intermission. Whether you're a longtime Travels with Darley viewer, a history lover, or a Charleston local who wants to see the city's founding-era legacy through fresh eyes, this afternoon is made for you.

Charleston Gaillard Center 95 Calhoun Street Charleston, SC. The Gaillard Center is one of Charleston's premier performance and event venues, located in the heart of the historic district.
What Is Revolutionary Road Trip?
Revolutionary Road Trip: Hidden Stories from America's Founding Journey is Darley Newman's debut book — a deep dive into the people, places, and moments of the American Revolution that history often overlooked. Drawing on years of travel and research, Darley brings the same on-the-ground storytelling she's known for on Travels with Darley on PBS to the page, tracing the founding-era road from the Lowcountry of South Carolina to the battlefields of New York and beyond.
The book officially launches on June 30, 2026 — just two days after the Charleston event.
