Admission Rates for the South Carolina Historical Society Museum

Free admission every Saturday in October 2023:

• Five years ago, we opened the doors to the SCHS Museum at the Fireproof Building! In that time, we’ve seen so many people get to experience our state’s history through the stories of the people, places, and movements that our exhibits display. We want to make sure everyone can learn this history, so we’re excited to announce that the Museum will offer free admission every Saturday throughout October 2023 during our Fall for History campaign!
