Closed for Thanksgiving

Historic Columbia : 1601 Richland Street, Columbia, SC 29201

Historic Columbia and all our properties will be closed on Thursday, Nov. 22, for Thanksgiving. The last tour will be given at 11:30 on Wednesday, Nov. 21. Tours will resume at regular hours on Friday, Nov. 23.

The Thanksgiving holiday is a perfect time to enjoy HC’s historic gardens! The beautiful grounds and gardens of HC’s historic properties are always free and a great way to walk off Thanksgiving dinner with friends and family – or bring a picnic of leftovers! Historic Columbia’s properties include more than 14 acres of landscapes, featuring gardens that range from an expansive park-like setting with an elaborate formal garden to a traditional 19th-century swept yard. Happy Thanksgiving!
