Charleston Museum Description
The Charleston Museum is the oldest municipal museum in North America, founded in 1773. It is devoted to the history and natural history of the coastal region. In front of the building is a replica of the Confederate submarine "Hunley", which carried out the first underwater attack in history. Nearby are two luxuriously furnished old mansions that are managed by the Museum: the Aiken-Rhett House (1817) at 48 Elizabeth Street and the Joseph Manigault House (1802) at 350 Meeting Street.
