History's home. Step inside.
In the Capital City, history isn’t something you stand back and study. It’s something you step into and explore.
Across three historic houses (and two centuries), Historic Columbia invites you past the façade and into the rooms where this city took shape. From the early 1800s to the Civil Rights Movement, see the places where our story unfolded—not behind glass or on a screen, but from room to room.
Join us for a guided tour in the heart of the Robert Mills Historic District, open Wednesday through Saturday | 10:30 a.m. – 3 p.m. and Sunday | 1:30 – 3 p.m.
