Historic Charleston House Museums
Aiken-rhett house.
The Aiken-Rhett House was built in 1820 in what is now the Mazyck-Wraggborough neighborhood of Charleston for merchant John Robinson.
It was later acquired by William Aiken Sr., a railroad magnate, who passed it on to his son William Aiken, Jr., who was later the South Carolina governor.
Aiken Jr. and his wife expanded the home in the 1830s and it continued to pass down through his family for over 140 years. Around 1975, it was sold to the Charleston Museum and it subsequently opened as a museum. The Historic Charleston Foundation now oversees it.
The Aikens owned slaves and their stories are told on the tours. Among the outbuildings are a kitchen, the original slave quarters, and a carriage block. A number of the original furnishings also survive.
Tickets are $12 for adults and can be purchased in combination with tickets to the Nathaniel Russell House. Tours are self-guided and offered daily from 10 am to 5 pm. The Aiken-Rhett House is located at 48 Elizabeth Street, a short walk from the visitor’s center.
Calhoun Mansion
The Calhoun Mansion was built in 1873 for businessman George W. Williams in the Victorian style. It was constructed with over 30 rooms and a large ballroom.
After Williams’ death, it was inherited by his son-in-law Patrick Calhoun, the grandson of statesman John C. Calhoun. In 1914, it operated as a hotel and in 1932, portions of the property were subdivided. In 1976, it was purchased and restored.
In 2004, it began operating as a museum. It’s also been used in films like North and South and The Notebook . It is decorated in the Gilded Age style and contains artifacts from the period.
Tickets are $17 for adults while children under 11 are free. Tours are held from 11 am to 5 pm every half hour, lasting around 30 minutes. The Calhoun Mansion is located at 16 Meeting Street near The Battery.
Visit the home on the High Society of Charleston tour , which ends at the Calhoun Mansion.
Edmonston-Alston House
The Edmonston-Alston House was built in 1825 for Scottish immigrant Charles Edmondston on the ruins of a fort alongside a sea wall. The modified single house was purchased by rice planter Charles Alston in 1838 and the third story was added.
A number of the Alston family details still remain, including the family crest on the rooftop railing and the dining room table. There are brief mentions of the enslaved people that lived here but the focus is on the high society family.
On the brink of the Civil War, General P.G.T. Beauregard watched from the house as shots were fired from Fort Sumter. The home later passed to Alston’s daughter Susan, who then gave it to cousin Henry Augustus Middleton Smith in 1922. It became a museum in 1973, operated by Middleton Place Plantation. It was recently featured on Outer Banks .
Tickets are $12 for adults and $8 for students and children and combination tickets are available with Middleton Place. Tours are held on Sunday and Monday from 1 to 4:30 pm and Tuesday to Saturday from 10 am to 4:30 pm and last 30 minutes. The Edmonston-Alston House is located at 21 East Battery.
Get your Edmondston-Alston House Admission before you go or book a spot on The Edmonston-Alston House Walking Tour .
Heyward-Washington House
The Heyward-Washington House was built in 1772 for Thomas Heyward, Jr., one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. George Washington was even hosted here during his 1791 tour.
Heyward and his family lived here until 1794 and his descendant, DuBose Heyward, wrote the novel Porgy that George Gershwin developed into Porgy and Bess .
He sold it to the Grimke family in 1794 and it became home to soldier John and his family, including daughters, and future suffragettes and abolitionists, Sarah and Angeline. The home was purchased by the Charleston Museum in 1929 and opened in 1930 as the city’s first historic house museum.
Among the pieces of Charleston-made furnishings in the house is the Holmes Bookcase, a fine example of colonial furniture. There’s also a 1740s kitchen building and formal gardens.
Tickets are $12 and combination tickets are available with the Charleston Museum and the Joseph Manigault House. Tours are offered Monday to Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm and Sunday from 12 to 5 pm. The Heyward-Washington House is located at 87 Church Street, a block from the Nathaniel Russell House.
Visit this home on the Lost Stories of Black Charleston Walking Tour , but entry is not included.
Joseph Manigault House
The Joseph Manigault House was built in 1803 in the Adams style and designed by brother Gabriel Manigault. Joseph was a wealthy rice planter and French Huguenot who came to America to escape religious persecution. He inherited many plantations and hundreds of slaves from his grandfather, securing his wealth.
It contains intact outbuildings like the kitchen and slave quarters, stable, and privy as well as fine furniture from Europe and beyond. The dramatic staircase is another incredible feature.
After Manigault’s death, the home was sold in 1852 to George N. Reynolds Jr. before passing to John S. Riggs in 1864. By 1920, the home was slated for demolition, but a group of locals formed the Preservation Society of Charleston to save it. The Charleston Museum purchased it in 1933.
Tickets are $12 and combination tickets are available with the Charleston Museum and the Heyward-Washington House. Tours are offered Monday to Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm and Sunday from 12 to 5 pm. The Joseph Manigault House is located at 350 Meeting Street alongside the Charleston Museum.
Visit on the Historic City and Southern Mansion Combo Tour .
Nathaniel Russell House
The Nathaniel Russell House was built in 1808 for slave trader and merchant Nathaniel Russell in Neoclassical design. The townhouse was home to Russell, his wife, two daughters, and likely eighteen slaves to run the household.
Russell wanted only the finest home and had a number of architectural details installed like elaborate plasterwork, heart pine floors, formal gardens, and a grand three-story cantilevered staircase.
In 1857, it was purchased by Robert Allston, governor of South Carolina, and he lived there until his death. From 1870 to 1905, it operated as a boarding school before again becoming a private residence.
In 1955, the Historic Charleston Foundation was created to save the property. It remains one of the best house museums in Charleston.
Tickets are $12 for adults and can be purchased in combination with tickets to the Aiken-Rhett House. Tours are offered daily from 10 am to 5 pm and are led by docents. The Nathaniel Russell House is located at 51 Meeting Street, around the corner from Rainbow Row.
Visit the home on the Badass Broads of Charleston tour , which ends at the house.

Your Guide to Visiting the Top Charleston Historic House Museums
Aiken Rhett House Museum
Full admission is included with TourPass Charleston
Self-guided tours. Last tour begins at 4:15 p.m.
History of the House
Built in 1820 by merchant John Robinson, the Aiken-Rhett House is nationally significant as one of the best-preserved townhouse complexes in the nation. Vastly expanded by Governor and Mrs. William Aiken, Jr. in the 1830s and again in the 1850s, the house and its outbuildings include a kitchen, the original slave quarters, carriage block and back lot. The house and its surviving furnishings offer a compelling portrait of urban life in antebellum Charleston, as well as a Southern politician, slaveholder and industrialist. The house spent 142 years in the Aiken family’s hands before being sold to the Charleston Museum and opened as a museum house in 1975.
When the Foundation assumed ownership in 1995, we adopted a preserved-as-found preservation approach, meaning the structure and contents are left in an “as-found” state, including furniture, architecture and finishes that have not been altered since the mid 19th century. The only restored room in the house, the art gallery, showcases paintings and sculpture the Aiken family acquired on their European Grand Tour.
While many dependency buildings in Charleston have been demolished or adapted, the Aiken-Rhett slave quarters – with their original paint, floors and fixtures – survive virtually untouched since the 1850s, allowing visitors the unique chance to better comprehend the every-day realities of the enslaved Africans who lived on-site, maintained the household and catered to the needs of the Aiken family and their guests.
Heyward Washington House
Charleston’s revolutionary war house.
Built in 1772, this Georgian-style double house was the town home of Thomas Heyward, Jr., one of four South Carolina signers of the Declaration of Independence. A patriot leader and artillery officer with the South Carolina militia during the American Revolution, Heyward was captured when the British took Charleston in 1780. He was exiled to St. Augustine, Florida, but was exchanged in 1781. The City rented this house for George Washington’s use during the President’s week-long Charleston stay, in May 1791, and it has traditionally been called the “Heyward-Washington House.” Heyward sold the house in 1794 to John F. Grimke, also a Revolutionary War officer and father of Sarah and Angeline Grimke, the famous abolitionists and suffragettes. It was acquired by the Museum in 1929, opened the following year as Charleston’s first historic house museum, and was recognized as a National Historic Landmark in 1978. Here you will see a superb collection of historic Charleston-made furniture including the priceless Holmes Bookcase, considered one of the finest examples of American-made colonial furniture. The property also features the only 1740s kitchen building open to the public in Charleston as well as formal gardens featuring plants commonly used in the South Carolina Lowcountry in the late 18th century.

Nathaniel Russell House Museum
Full admission is included with TourPass Charleston
A National Historic Landmark, the Nathaniel Russell House Museum was built over a five-year period and completed in 1808 by Charleston merchant Nathaniel Russell. The house cost $80,000 to build, at a time when the average value of a home was $262. The homes graceful, free-flying, three-story staircase is an architectural marvel with each cantilevered step supporting the one above and below it.
The graceful interiors with elaborate plasterwork ornamentation, geometrically shaped rooms, formal gardens and collection of 18th-century decorative and fine art speak to the wealth of Charlestons elite in the early days of the American Republic. The homes graceful, free-flying, three-story staircase is an architectural marvel with each cantilevered step supporting the one above and below it.
Restored to its original splendor using forensic analysis and cutting-edge conservation technology by our curatorial staff, we ensure the highest standards of old-world expertise to replicate the finishes, fixtures and textiles appropriate for this 200-year old townhouse.
Because restoration is an ongoing process, visitors have the opportunity to see and learn about the meticulous care, craft and consideration that goes into every detail. The 18 enslaved Africans that lived on and maintained the property during the Russell occupancy are an integral part of the history of this one-of-kind house. An exhibit in the original kitchen house features archaeological artifacts, educational panels and stories of the people vital to the history of this property.
Joseph Manigault House Museum
Charleston’s huguenot house.
A striking spiral staircase accents the impressive central hall, and many of the rooms are restored to their original color schemes. All feature historic pieces from the Museum’s collections including a selection of American, English and French furniture dating to the early 19th century. Outside, a classical Gate Temple overlooks a period garden, and the locations of adjacent historical outbuildings (e.g., kitchen and slave quarters, stable, and privy) are marked with interpretive signs. Descending from French Huguenots who fled religious persecution in Europe in the late 1600s, the Manigaults prospered as rice planters and merchants during the 18th century and became one of South Carolina’s leading families. Joseph Manigault inherited several rice plantations and over two hundred slaves from his grandfather in 1788, and also married well. Arthur Middleton, father of his first wife, Maria Henrietta Middleton, was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Following Henrietta’s death, he married Charlotte Drayton, with whom he had eight children. The Charleston Museum purchased the house in 1933, and has preserved and interpreted it ever since.

Nathaniel Russell House
The Nathaniel Russell House is generally thought to have been the last of Charleston's great post Revolutionary War period houses. Like most such houses in Charleston, it was built using wealth derived from slavery.
Architecturally, the highlight of the Nathaniel Russell House is its unique three-story, free-floating staircase. Other features of note include the house’s beautiful restored interior, with its period furnishings and art, and the formal gardens.
Interpretation at the Nathaniel Russell House has been expanded in recent years to give a fuller attention to the lives of the people enslaved there. The original kitchen house now features an exhibit exploring the lives of the enslaved people who worked in the house (and lived in separate quarters to the rear of the main residence) and the ongoing archaeological research currently being undertaken there.
A visit to the Nathaniel Russell House should take around an hour, with about 30-45 minutes for the tour of the house and some additional time to view the gardens. Discounted tickets are available if you also intend to visit the Aiken-Rhett House.

History Of The Nathaniel Russell House
Nathaniel Russell (1738-1820) was a native of Rhode Island. He moved to Charleston in 1765, where he became a shipping merchant and slave trader. At age fifty, he married Sarah Hopton (1752-1832), daughter of a wealthy Charleston family. Their daughters, Alicia and Sarah, were born in 1789 and 1792.
By now one of Charleston’s most prosperous men, Russell built his extravagant home as a means to display his wealth and position. Construction began in 1803, and was completed in 1808, at a total cost of $80,000 — extraordinary for the time.
The Russell family moved into their new home that year (Nathaniel was then 70 years of age), together with 18 of the people they enslaved (the enslaved people’s cramped quarters, located to the rear of the house, are the subject of current archaeological research, which has already yielded numerous artifacts).
After Russell’s death in 1820, the house remained in the family. His youngest daughter, Sarah, was the last family member to inhabit the house, living there until the 1850s.
In 1857, Robert Alston, rice planter and South Carolina governor (1856-1858) bought the house. Alston died in 1864, and in 1870 the executors of his estate sold the house to the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy. They used the house as a school building until 1905, after which it was converted back into a private residence.
In 1955 the historic garden was threatened with subdivision. To preserve the house, the Historic Charleston Foundation was formed, quickly raising the $65,000 purchase price of the property. The Foundation bought the house, opening it for public tours not long after. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1973.
In 1995, the Historic Charleston Foundation undertook a comprehensive restoration of the house, aiming to return its interior details and finishes to their original appearance. Furnishings, many of them manufactured in Charleston, have been acquired to further aid in restoring the house to its appearance when it was built and inhabited by the Russell family.
Things To See At The Nathaniel Russell House
House tours & interpretation.
Tours of the Nathaniel Russell House take around 30-40 minutes ( due to the current pandemic, guided tours have been replaced with a self-guided audio tour taking approximately 45 minutes ), visiting the first and second floors of the house. Tours discuss the history and architecture of the house and the lives of the people who lived there.
The tour also includes information about the ongoing restoration of the property, and the processes that go into selecting materials and replicating the original details and finishes in the house. Although the furnishings are not original to the property, they are typical of the period, with many pieces produced in the Charleston area.
Tours formerly focused on the mansion itself, with its outbuildings – kitchen, laundry, carriage house, work yard and living quarters used primarily by enslaved people – used as offices and storage areas.
Current archaeological work at the Nathaniel Russell House aims to uncover the stories of the enslaved people who worked at the house prior to the Civil War, with new findings incorporated into the property’s interpretation. An exhibit in the kitchen house explores the stories of the people who lived and worked there, and displays some of the archaeological artifacts they left behind.
Architecture
The Nathaniel Russell House was built in the Adam style, a light and delicate variant of the Federal style popularized by Robert, James and John Adam.
The house, designed by an unknown architect, has three stories with a 3-bay, symmetrical facade, taller than it is wide. The predominant building material was Carolina gray brick, accentuated with arches of crimson Windor brick, also known as cutting brick for its ability to withstand very precise cutting and shaping.
These bright brick arches were a popular feature of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, intended to alleviate an otherwise-monotonous facade. Other distinctive features of the Nathaniel Russell House include marble window lintels, a paneled balustrade, floor-length windows on the second story, and a wrought-iron balcony displaying Russell’s initials.
The interior layout of the house was designed to convey a sense of movement, with curved walls in the central rooms (a popular component of the Adam style) and a free-standing staircase rising to its third story.
Each floor comprises three principal rooms: an oval-shaped room in the center of the house, a rectangular room at the front, and a square room at the back. More public activities were generally undertaken in the front rooms of the house, with the family’s more private rooms at the rear.
On the first floor are the entrance hall and an office Russell used for business, an oval dining room, and a parlor used for dining when the family did not have guests.
On the second floor is an oval drawing room, a rectangular withdrawing room at the front of the house, and a bedroom. On the third floor are additional bedrooms.
Garden & Grounds
Nathaniel Russell had a large, geometically-arranged garden in the English style constructed on the south side of his house, separated from the street by a brick wall and wrought iron fence. The formal garden, with shrubs, flower plantings and citrus trees, can still be seen, planted out with ornamental species in popular use in the 19th century.
To the rear of the house are the enslaved people’s quarters and work spaces, currently under development as additional interpretive spaces intended to tell the full story of the Nathaniel Russell House and its inhabitants.

Miller Highlights Benefits of Opportunity Zones for Small Businesses in a Ways and Means Field Hearing
Washington, D.C. – Yesterday, Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) participated in a Ways and Means Tax Subcommittee Field Hearing in Erie, Pennsylvania to discuss how the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act promoted small businesses and policies such as Opportunity Zones (OZ), which have positively benefited small business owners in rural areas across the country.
Click here to watch.
Congresswoman Miller began by highlighting her own struggles and experience as a business owner, and how Opportunity Zones are an effective tool to help invest in communities. “I think we’ve established the importance of keeping the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. It’s so important and it's what's coming ahead. I bought apartments and I painted them when I couldn't afford somebody else to do it. I've been ankle deep in sump pump water. I'm a small business owner. I'm an LLC. I am not a bad person for being a corporation . I can remember those huge printouts every time I had to make a payment; I'd mark it off. My interest was huge. People who make policy don't often understand the risk that people in business take, small businesses in particular. Those small business people are the ones that support the Little League teams, that help the Boy Scouts, and Girl Scouts. They're the ones that are reinvesting in their people and in their community. West Virginia is a bout 95% small businesses. I do represent rural West Virginia, and we live in a community that's very similar here . We have suffered from bad policy and bad ideas, but like these Opportunity Zones , they have become a very effective tool to help investment in our communities . I saw so many plants leaving in the ‘80s and in the ‘90s because of policy, so it's so important that we do what we do. I'm an original cosponsor of Chairman Kelly's Opportunity Zones and Transparency Extension and Improvement Act, and I strongly support it,” said Congresswoman Miller. Congresswoman Miller asked Drew Whiting, CEO of Erie Downtown Development Corporation, for the timeframe of when he began to see the benefits of the Opportunity Zone policies and why it’s important to extend the program. “ Mr. Whiting, thank you for being here. I'm impressed what I've heard about Erie’s development toda y. We're redeveloping Huntington and Charleston along our main streets in our town. Can you explain how long it’s taken for Erie to see the benefits of the Opportunity Zone program and why it’s so important that it should be extended?” asked Congresswoman Miller. “At the beginning of our seventh year of action on this right now, and I would say that we're probably a year and a half into seeing some of these benefits. It does take a while and that's because development takes some time, and for the effects to take hold after that will take time as well. We need more time,” responded Mr. Whiting. Congresswoman Miller ended her questioning by asking Mr. Whiting to explain his experience with using OZs to address the housing shortage in Erie. “Housing is also a big issue in West Virginia and in my district, and we do have access to more recent data, which indicates the OZs have had such a significant impact on adding to our housing supply. It's up from 8% before designation, so we also know that this new activity has a positive spillover in our neighboring communities. Can you also speak about your experiences of using OZs to address the housing shortage here in Erie?” asked Congresswoman Miller. “Our OZ work has resulted in about 110 new apartments where 14 existed prior. It's also spurred on additional activity that has led to efforts at more supportive and low income, affordable housing around the community. We have something to work for. This is a place worth investing in. This is a place worth creating new housing in now. So the organizations like the Hamot Health Foundation, the Community Foundation, are doing that work. I'm not sure that there would be the impetus to do it 10 years ago,” responded Mr. Whiting. “Thank you, all of you for being here and taking the time today. We really appreciate it. God bless you,” said Congresswoman Miller.
