The Museum of the Reconstruction Era : 1705 Hampton Street, Columbia, SC 29201

A tradition returns as residents of Richland and Lexington counties are once again invited to tour one of Historic Columbia’s house museums for just $1 on third Sunday of the month! This month, visit The Museum of the Reconstruction Era, the nation's only museum dedicated to interpreting the post-Civil War Reconstruction period and South Carolina's only remaining presidential site.

Self-guided tours are offered from 1-4 p.m. Purchase admission at The Museum of the Reconstruction Era or at the Gift Shop at Robert Mills, located at 1616 Blanding Street. Tickets are only $1 for Richland and Lexington County residents with a valid ID. 

Historic Columbia will continue to require visitors and staff to follow the protocols we have established that are recommended by the CDC, including wearing a mask, social distancing, and limiting capacity. It is our top priority to maintain a safe environment for our community, and we do not intend to change our current practices until it has been determined that it is safe to do so.
