EXCLUSIVE FOR PRESERVISIONIST MEMBERS

Join us for an after-hours happy hour and behind-the-scenes tour of the Aiken Rhett House on June 22. The Aiken-Rhett House Museum has a preservation style different than every other historic house museum on the Charleston peninsula. The house’s preservation style is “preserved-as-found” and has resulted in a hauntingly beautiful time capsule at 48 Elizabeth Street.

Historic Charleston Foundation invites PreserVISIONist members to dive a bit deeper with Properties Manager, Justin Schwebler, for a more in-depth look at some of the preservation projects and efforts at this preserved-as-found house museum on June 22 from 4:30 – 6:30 pm. This exclusive, Members-only, tour will show how the house’s conditions are monitored, how preservation methods are performed, and what it means to maintain a preserved-as-found house. Justin will also take PreserVISIONist members into areas of the property not generally open to the public and more, behind-the-scenes treats from the Aiken-Rhett House Museum.

This tour is free and exclusive for current* PreserVISIONist Members. Members must register to attend (space is limited!). Refreshments are included!
