The Charleston Museum
360 Meeting St.
Charleston, SC, 29403
The low country of the US, otherwise known as the region in which you live including South Carolina, for those of you new to your Charleston apartment, is rich in history and has much to show us. The first museum in the country, The Charleston Museum, has much to share about this area and does that well. The museum has a wide collection of exhibits, from a beautiful permanent collection to special exhibits and traveling exhibits. Highlights of the permanent collection include early trade ware, slave tags, and the chair in which delegates sat to sign the South Carolina Ordinance of Secession at the start of the Civil War. Charleston Silver is a separate gallery that displays a huge collection of early silver, including the christening cup of George Washington. The diverse natural environment is portrayed here, with a wide variety of modern birds, and mounted skeletons of prehistoric animals like a crocodile, a toothed whale, and the largest known flying bird. The area attracted early naturalists such as John James Audubon, André Michaux, Mark Catesby and the Reverend John Bachman, and their contributions are noted here. When you visit the museum, you have the excellent option of also seeing additional history at the two homes, the Heyward Washington House, built in 1772 and lived in by one of the original signers of the Declaration of Independence, and the Joseph Manigault House, one of Charleston's most graceful structures built in the early 19th century. You may just see the museum for $10, see the museum and one home for $16, or see all three for just $22, with an $8 savings. So make it a date to see all three, get some decorating ideas for your Charleston apartment, and learn a lot about US history. The museum is open Monday through Saturday, 9 am to 5 pm, and Sundays 1 pm to 5 pm, every day of the year except for the following major holidays - New Year's Day, Easter Sunday, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve afternoon and Christmas Day.
