Charleston City Tour & Charleston Museum and Historic Houses Package

Combine an unforgettable sightseeing tour of Charleston, where history, charm and Southern Hospitality come alive, with a historic visit to The Charleston Museum and either the Joseph Manigault House or Heyward-Washington House.

Founded in 1773 and inspired in part by the creation of the British Museum, The Charleston Museum was established by the Charleston Library Society on the eve of the American Revolution and is commonly regarded as “America’s First Museum.”

One of Charleston’s most exquisite antebellum structures, the Joseph Manigault House, built in 1803, reflects the urban lifestyle of a wealthy, rice-planting family and the enslaved African Americans who lived there.

Built in 1772, the Heyward-Washington House was the townhome of Thomas Heyward, Jr., one of four South Carolina signers of the Declaration of Independence.
