If your visiting Charleston and a history fan you need to stop by here, a little building with a lot of history, and there are some objects you can touch and hold. $3 for adults $1 for a student
Ask about the building's brickwork and the embedded sand as a precaution in containing internal explosions.
Ask John questions. He knows his stuff and wants to share!
Pay the $2.00 to go inside; nice short to the point museum !

Take the ghost tour before the building gets turned into office space. It’s a shame it’s not preserved & treated like the awesome historical landmark that it is. It should be office space. - Mary Catherine James
