Website | EmailFounded in 1773, The Charleston Museum claims to be America's first. The museum focuses on local historic, cultural, and natural history. Permanent exhibits include artifacts from 18th and 19th centuries, including slave tags and firearms from the Civil War. They also feature an impressive silver collection which includes the christening cup of George Washington. For those who like natural history, check out the bird collection and skeletons of local prehistoric animals. The museum also books tours with two nearby historic homes, the Joseph Manigualt House and the Heyward-Washington House. Museum and Historic Home prices are USD10 each, but you save if you book for two or more. Check the website for further details.
