Dork-out with the Director: Paint by Number

Grahame Long, Director of Museums

Historic Charleston Foundation is excited to announce a fun new way to engage with the Nathaniel Russell House Museum this summer – Dork out with the Director! (Director of Museums, Grahame Long, specifically.) This NEW summer program will bring the community extended hours at the Nathaniel Russell House every Wednesday this summer –  allowing you to explore this impeccably restored architectural gem.

While there, join Historic Charleston Foundation’s Director of Museums to find out some way-too-detailed answers to some of the Nathaniel Russell House’s most frequently asked questions and get a close up look at some Historic Charleston Foundations most important collections. This fun and engaging new summer program is great before (or after) happy hour, for an extended afternoon with the family, or to entertain guests visiting from out of town!

This complimentary program is free with admission to the Nathaniel Russell House Museum each Wednesday this summer. Guests can take a guided tour (last one starts at 4 pm) and then stay to “Dork out with the Director” to ask all of those burning questions.

On Wednesday, July 5, join us for Dork-out with the Director: Paint by Number, a closer look at the beautiful and vibrant colors of the Nathaniel Russell House Museum. The colors of the House Museum are not accidental – each color was carefully chosen thanks to expert paint analysis and extensive archeological research. Learn more about how the Foundation discovered the colors of the Russell House, and what they can tell us about its history. Registration is not required and this program is free with admission to the Nathaniel Russell House Museum, tickets may be purchased online or in person.
