We lead the way in preserving Charleston's heritage through our Preservation initiatives, Advocacy efforts, and House Museums. Experience our mission firsthand at the Aiken-Rhett and Nathaniel Russell Houses, showcasing Charleston's rich history.
Our Mission
Our mission is to advocate for a future for Charleston that honors and protects its people, places, culture, and community.
The past is everywhere you look in Charleston – triumphs and tragedies, beauty and brutality, infused in art and architecture and etched in stone. Preserved, and restored, step through the door to be transported back in time.
Few colors carry as much history as indigo, and few places feel that weight more than Charleston. Indigo: Variations in Blue, curated by Tushara Bindu Gude, Ph.D., unites eight artists inside the preserved "as-found" Aiken-Rhett House c. 1820 in a powerful meditation on memory, migration, and meaning — expressed in every shade of blue.
