Candlelight Tour of the Nathaniel Russell House Museum
Step into 1808 Charleston with a candlelight tour of the Nathaniel Russell House to celebrate the holiday season. In this elegant townhouse, the holiday season centered on formal dinners in the richly appointed dining room. Tables were set with imported porcelain, fine china, and gleaming silver, reflecting the family’s mercantile success and international connections. Meals blended Lowcountry ingredients with delicacies brought from abroad, while evenings were filled with music, conversation, and refined social rituals. Guests on this exclusive after-hours tour will have a chance to view the home with these priceless pieces on display and will also gain insight into the essential work of the enslaved household staff whose labor made these celebrations possible. This tour offers a rare glimpse into the lifestyle of Charleston’s early 19th-century merchant elite. Recommended for ages 12 and up.
Tickets are required and advance purchase is recommended. The tour is approximately 45 minutes long.
