Please note, the Aiken-Rhett House will be closed Monday, April 14, 2025.
The Aiken-Rhett House (c. 1820), located at 48 Elizabeth Street, is open Monday 1 - 4 p.m. and Tuesday - Sunday 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. You may visit anytime within those hours to enjoy a self-paced audio tour, as we do not have reserved starting times. If you are interested in a docent-led guided tour of the Aiken-Rhett House, docent-led tours are first-come, first-served and begin at 10:30 am, 12:30 pm, and 2:30 pm.
All Museum tickets purchased on those dates will be honored when the house museum reopens with regular hours on Saturday, February 15.
For groups of 12 or more, please call the house manager to reserve a tour. Discounts apply.
