Description

Founded in 1773, this is the nation's first and oldest museum. With informative exhibits that include archaeological finds from the area, natural science displays, and the collected memorabilia of early patriots and Charlestonian families, the museum offers a unique insight into the roots and early inhabitants of this beautiful, historical city. Learn about the Native Americans who lived here long before the first English settler set foot on these shores, or see George Washington's christening cup in the museum's extensive early silver collection. Kids will love Kidstory, which brings history to life with interactive exhibits that young learners will appreciate and enjoy.
