Old Slave Mart Museum

Small, but worth the visit. Good information about the "economics" and "game theory" of the slave trade and the different stakeholders involved. Has student discounts ($5).

Lots of interesting info but light on the artifacts . Best to talk with descendants of those sold here for a personal and real story.

I enjoyed this museum ...dealt very well with the complex history of the selling of enslaved African Americans. Highly recommended!

About 40% of all enslaved Africans coming into the United States in the 18th century came in through the Port of Charleston. Check out this C-SPAN video for more info. Read more

Considering the history, i think this museum could have been more engaging. That said, entry is relatively cheap so worth it to get a quick overview of the role Charleston played during slavery.

Used to hold slave auctions in the early 1800's. In honor of Black History, check out these noteworthy examples of African-Americans' accomplishments: http://bet.us/BHM"

This museum is the only known former slave auction gallery still in existence. It tells the story of Charleston's role in the inter-state slave trade . It focuses on the history of the specific site.

Important piece of Charleston History.

Mostly reading, and a little pricey considering we did the entire thing in just under 25 minutes. But the staff was friendly and we did learn quite a bit.

This is where slaves were sold after being quarantined for months on Sullivan's Island .

Excellent museum . Most of the information you have to read from their displays and so it is not ideal for young children.

Presented comprehensive historical overview .

An accurate description of how the US was built. Disappointing how human beings are treated as property.

Read beyond the objectively presented info.
