Dork out with the Director: Something Windsor This Way Comes

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, August 2, join us for Dork-out with the Director: Something Windsor This Way Comes, examining one of two original pieces of furniture still at 51 Meeting Street. The Windsor chair, now located in Russell’s office, dates to ca.1811 and is one of the original pieces of furniture that would have originally been used at 51 Meeting Street and the Foundation has now reproduced for our guests to use. While this chair looks simple enough – its significance is mighty. Don’t miss your chance to learn every detail, including where the maker’s mark is, from Grahame Long on August 2. 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.
