The Museum of the Reconstruction Era at the Woodrow Wilson Family Home is the nation's only museum dedicated to showcasing the post-Civil War Reconstruction period and is housed in South Carolina's only remaining presidential site. Through a multifaceted interpretation, The Museum of the Reconstruction Era interprets Columbia’s late 19th-century history in order to dispel the myths of Reconstruction that are so prevalent in society today. The site is owned by Richland County and managed by Historic Columbia.
Self-guided tours are offered from 1:00 - 4:00 p.m. Admission is free for HC members and residents of Richland and Lexington counties. For all other visitors, admission to the Museum of the Reconstruction Era is $15 for adults and $10 for youth and may be paid on site. Space is limited so guests will be registered on a first-come first-serve basis. The house will be open for guests to tour at their own pace, and guides will be available to answer any questions.
