About The Aiken-Rhett House Museum

Visitors can explore the house, its surviving furnishings, and outbuildings including a kitchen, laundry, carriage block, and original quarters for enslaved people. The dependency buildings survive virtually untouched since the 1850s, allowing visitors to comprehend the realities of enslaved Africans. The Art Gallery, the only restored room, showcases paintings and sculptures from the Aiken family's European Grand Tour.
