Enjoy a great cup of coffee and discover the stories behind one of America’s most fascinating cities, guided by Cooper, a real historian with a gift for making the past vivid, surprising, and easy to connect with.

Coffee with Cooper was created to make Charleston history more comfortable and accessible. You can explore the city’s past without spending hours walking outdoors—an inviting option for visitors who prefer to sit, need a break from the weather, or have mobility challenges.

Cooper brings an exceptional academic background to every conversation. He holds a PhD, earned three additional degrees, and taught at the University of South Carolina.

With thousands of hours spent teaching and sharing history, he knows how to go beyond dates and names to explain why events mattered—and how they shaped Charleston and the people who lived here.

Among Charleston’s more than 600 tour guides, Cooper has earned a reputation as one of the city’s most respected historians through his depth of knowledge, thoughtful storytelling, and dedication to getting the history right. His approach invites questions and conversation, connecting familiar landmarks and famous figures to the larger stories of Charleston’s past.
