Virtual Behind-the-Scenes Tour | Smoked on Main Street

$10 for members | $20 for non-members

Register

Zoom

Join Historic Columbia for another virtual installment of its ever-popular Behind-the-Scenes Tours! This time we explore two Reconstruction-era buildings soon to be transformed into contemporary Main Street entertainment and urban living destinations. Originally home to Erhlich’s Shoe Store from 1868 until 1924, 1643 Main and 1645 Main, a one-time liquor store and Piggly Wiggly, will yet again have people pounding the pavement to enjoy spirited times, high on the hog dining at Smoked, an upscale, casual experience that combines the elements of meats, oysters and libations under one roof.

This event will be held online via Zoom. All registered participants will receive a web link to the program a day before the event.
