Aiken-Rhett House Museum

Aiken-Rhett House Museum provides visitors with an opportunity to explore one of Charleston's historic urban residences and learn about the complex social history surrounding the property. The preserved house, interiors, outbuildings, and grounds help illustrate how wealthy Charleston families lived and how enslaved people supported life on the property. The museum offers more than an architectural experience by encouraging visitors to consider the different lives and perspectives that shaped Charleston's past. It is an excellent attraction for travelers interested in historic preservation, architecture, and a deeper understanding of Charleston history.
