Second Time Visiting. Found new displays and some I had missed the first time. Museum tells a different story to every visitor. The Ladies who curated these items did so out of Love for the Father's, Husbands and Sons they had lost. The Love of Hearth and Kin is the story I take away. There is a display of a Lady who offered up her 5 sons. She prayed every morning for an hr for there safety. In the Providence of God her prayers were answered and they returned home safely. A rare story to be sure. The stories in this place need to be told and treasured. Thank you Ladies!

Fantastic Museum open Thursdays through Sundays, this museum is about history, culture, way of life, education, textiles, families who lost everything and how people survived. There’s a small admission fee and allow about a hour or so to admire every relic. There’s a gift shop area that sells adult and children t-shirts, historical jewelry made from relics found in the low country areas made by a local artist, books, stickers and novelty items. This Musuem is ran by a fabulous group of ladies and they know everything there is about Charleston’s past and present.
I loved looking at the textiles, how women hand stitched their dresses, children clothes and gloves. The watermelon seed brooch is my favorite. How cleaver and such detail.

Not very well organized - felt a little chaotic with how many items were cramped everywhere. However, the objects in the collection are valuable parts of Charleston history and I am happy they are being preserved by this museum in a very iconic part of Charleston. They also have a small reading library with hard-to-find titles re: Confederacy. Definitely recommend!
