The Aiken-Rhett House is an exceptional 19th-century mansion, now a museum revealing its intriguing past. It is the former home of a governor of South Carolina and is among the most important buildings in Charleston. Take a guided tour to learn of the families who resided here and the architectural changes over the years. Admire the lower colonnade and two tiers of terraced balconies that make up the yellow façade, which is flanked by palm trees. Gaze up at the pediment at the top with a semicircular fan window. The entrance was moved to the side of the house by Governor William Aiken in 1833. Use the audio guide to tour the exhibits at your own pace. Admire the fine art and furnishings that the governor and his wife bought during their travels. The items remain today in a wing built to store the collection. Find out about the African-American slaves who toiled in the house in roles such as footman, gardener and entertainer. Two of the slaves, Jacob Gaillard and Henry Greggs, remained after emancipation, working here until their deaths. Explore the quarters at the back, where the slaves worked and lived. Learn the history of this important building, which was built by local merchant John Robinson in 1820\. It passed through the hands of William Aiken Sr., his namesake son and the latter’s son-in-law Major A.B. Rhett. The house was opened to the public in 1975 after being sold to the Charleston Museum. It is now in the hands of the Historic Charleston Foundation. Pay a fee to enter the house and get discounts for kids. Toddlers enter for free. Note that the site opens daily from morning until late afternoon Monday through Saturday and opens in the early afternoon on Sundays. Schedule group tours in advance. The Aiken-Rhett House is in the downtown area of Charleston. Take a bus to one of the stops near the house.
