The real name of this museum is United Daughters of the Confederacy organization. The are hiding what they really are.If you want a White washed and one sided history this is your museum. This is not a museum to honor the slaves that were sold there. It is a museum To funnel more money into the United Daughters of the Confederacy organization. Let’s not erase history let’s make it more united and diverse.Be wise where you spend your money. Just remember they are and what they stand for!United Daughters of the Confederacy organizationUnited Daughters of the Confederacy organizationUnited Daughters of the Confederacy organizationUnited Daughters of the Confederacy organizationUnited Daughters of the Confederacy organization

Very nice. Interesting information

A relic of the old south. The museum has knick-knacks and relics of the war on display. More interesting was the literature that cast a favorable view on slavery, and discount the role of slavery in the start of the war. They portray it as a war for states rights, describe slavery as an institution that was going out of existence at the start of the war. Thought-provoking, led me to later look into the spread and increase in slavery before the war and read things like the states articles of secession that better informed my views about the war.

We were here a year ago and wish we hadnt gone or given them any support. This is a confederate museum and it enshrines everything that seceding from the US was about.

Great market for local crafts and family atmosphere. Free to enter and has alot of restaurants close by.

Outstanding Museum filled with such Great historical artifacts. Must see in Charleston. Staff very helpful, wish all people were this GREAT.

I really enjoyed the history in this museum. So much to see and read and learn about.....Ill be going back to revisit and learn some more! The artifacts are amazing. .....not what I heard about growing up in Pennsylvania.

One of the more disappointing museums Ive visited. I understand space is an issue and the building is beautiful but there is no curation and very little interpretation of the collection. Its some Confederate artifacts randomly and haphazardly scattered across the room.The price is very fair for what you get and the staff were polite but they clearly need to reinterpret and provide some narrative to their collection. Its a shame because they have some really cool and one of kind artifacts too. As it is, it should be termed something like The Charleston Confederate Collection. Museums are curated spaces which interpret history and provide narrative. This place did not even attempt to do that.

Very cool for $5. They have some really neat stuff thats worth seeing no matter which side your family was on.

Really interesting pieces, including money used during the war... but very small space. Only $5 so worth checking out if youre interested in the war. Also, you can look through their record books to see if a family member was on the confederacy but need name and better if you know which state they were stationed under.

Truly great really really nice I enjoyed it very much

What an interesting and informative collection of authentic Civil War artifacts! So happy that there is a place like this that respects the value of our history! Instead of tearing down to try to erase the past, this museum is a must see for anyone who wants to learn from our past! Thank you so much for the time and effort put into this important time of American history!

This is a great tour of history. Knowing your history is the best way to keep from repeating our ancestors mistakes. Lots of cool relics are kept here and preserved for generations to see and ponder a time long since past. Its a small museum, but packed with all kinds of historical relics. Its a short visit, but worthwhile to the history buff.

I think they need to update the museums collection to make clear the South lost the Civil War and that it ended in 1865. There is nothing wrong with honoring the memory of the poor souls who fought and died on both sides of that war. However there is no gainsaying the fact the best thing that happened to the South was it lost the war. And that the war in fact had everything to do with ending slavery.

It was great seeing all of the civil war artifacts. But my only complaint was we wasnt allowed to take any pictures. So you better have a good memory if want to remember this encounter for years to come.

Great Building at the end of the City Market

Amazing that this place was established by the Daughters of the Confederacy in 1899.Very unique collection.

Wonderful place has some fantastic displays. Very knowledgeable staff.

Informative piece of American history. Little warm inside but fee is nominal and the folks working there were nice and friendly about answering any questions. Parking is premium in this area so a garage or lot park and walking to the museum is probably best.

5.00 and well worth it. Lots of great artifacts. Could be laid out better but it is a small 1 room museum.

Small but fine and the employee are so friendly and helpful!!

Well worth the visit. A lot of history.

Great display of Confederate artifacts well worth the trip.

Amazing historical artifacts and books! Well worth the visit. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable

Lets keep history alive. Beautiful items.

Worth a visit if you are on Market Street in Charleston.They have some really cool artifacts from The Civil War.There are some amazing and detailed maps to study.I particularly enjoyed the displays of original letters and writings from the time period.

Informative museum. Lots of history loaded in this small building.

If you like civil war history or American military history this is your stop. $5 admission free for veterans. Friendly reception. The war relics are fascinating. Confederate war bonds were really neat to see especially with the bearer bond coupons still attached.

Small, but very well done. Worth the time.

Love it learned alot about our history

A wonderful collection of Confederate history and artifacts. A must see, just know it is a cash only museum so be prepared. Superb!

Its a small museum filled with lots of little treasures. The museum could use some help updating its exhibits but being able to see the actual articles is pretty cool.

This a small museum cool stuff lots of great history. Nice ladies run the front table. Let them know your a vet and its free admission!!

A lot of interesting artifacts and documents from the southern perspective of the Cival war. Well worth the trip. Free to veterans and service members.

So much history to learn! It was amazing

This place is horrible. Daughters of the Confederacy? Get over yourselves. Realize your family was on the wrong side of history and move on. There is absolutely nothing in this place to celebrate...

Excellent! Enjoyed our time and visit. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a great informative interesting way to learn a few things about the civil war and south in general. A+ 100% reccomended.

In a world that wants to hide from a history that WILL ALWAYS be there, this place is a diamond. Just remarkable artifacts!

If you are interested in actual Confederate history then this museum has some excellent reference and document material. Its not a large facility, but it is packed with artifacts. We spent hours there.

Awesome quality information!

Very nice little museum. Would be nice if they had a bit of a bookstore.

Its good to see history being perserved, and not try to cover it up! This and every war ,I salute to all that have fought, and those who have died for our freedom! Along with those who serve and have served in our millitaries!

Wonderful history of the Confederate Army. Many artifacts to see and read about.

A Lot of very interesting historical items to see.

Was able to confirm my husband and I both had great-great-great grandfathers who fought for the Confederacy.

Great history there History people you cant erase it.

Smaller than expected but great to see history isnt being deleted!

What a beautiful place great to seehow things were in the south

Small and not visually appealing, but jam packed with Confederate artifacts. Quite interesting.

Fun and interesting. Definitely one of the cheapest entertainments weve found here

Its just a big participation trophy

Great visit in the lovely city of Charleston.

Neat place for $5.

You must take a tour, so much history to learn about in Charleston, it might surprise you!!

Wow. What a history we have of our nation and how it all began. Very informative!

Very neat seeing history!

Lots of priceless artifacts that have lost their historical significance in todays world unfortunately. Well worth a visit for those who understand there are 2 sides to the story of this war.

Learned a lot about the Civil War.

Enjoyed this museum very much. So much History to learn about. Was only 5.00 to go in.

Truthful information. I teresting displays of artifacts.

Great for his history enthusiasts

Part of history, a must see, perspectives on our country that should not be ignored. Very interesting.

Some very nice artifacts and excellent paper documents

You have to be interested in this to truly enjoy. It has some interesting displays. Well worth the time to visit.

Alot of stuff in a small area

We were unaware of this. When we went on we spent 1 1/2 hours that flew by. Great history here. Loved it.

Small but packed with so many things. Could spend all day looking and reading. Just wish you could take pictures but I understand why you cant.

AMust see

This museum didnt have any artifacts that were amazing and it is small, but the $5 admission fee made up for it. Be warned that there are very few firearms, and there is not a lot of explanation on artifacts. Also, the museum is not racist in anyway.

Easy to see all exhibits in an hour or two.

Wow, so much history. Vist if you can.

Of all the shameful and racist memorials I’ve been to, they have the worst understanding of history. Kudos!

If you are a fan of American history this place is a must. A great combination of military history and daily life in the CSA. There are exhibits here that you wont see anywhere else in the world. If you are a researcher they have a large collection of primary resources.

Interesting things to see!

Must see. Lots of really good info and artifacts you cant see anywhere else

We appreciate the Daughters of the confederacy preserving the noble heritage of confederate veterans.

Learned alot of things you cant learn in a classroom or in a book or on a screen

Another must see to have a full appreciation of our nations history...especially if you have a direct family connection to The Cause.

Smaller than I was expecting but very nice items. Its a shame they wont allow pictures.

Great to learn about history

If you love the Antebellum Era, then this is the place to go! They have more genuine artifacts per square foot than any comparable museum you will ever go to. I spend hours in here every time Im in Charleston and always learn/see something new. Lovers of Dixie will feel right at home!

A small place but packed with a lot of very interesting Confederate artifacts. Volumes of documentation as well, including a register of all Confederate soldiers. A good visit if you are an American history buff.

Interesting but the staff werent very knowledgeable

Very well kept history

The quality of historic artifacts is second to none. It was an emotional experience. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. This is a museum to visit again and again.

Great museum. Very interesting

Great civil war perspective

Another great history lesson!

You can get very close to the exibits. A lot of original pieces. Not just war related, but also the families and children of the time. Plenty of personal stories. No photography allowed.

Loved going back in time. All the artifacts they had. Everyone should experience this time in history.

Some really nice artifacts

A lot of history resides in this remarkable location!

Interesting artifacts, but I would liked to have seen more of the documentation and history from the Confederate perspective. We had visited Ft. Sumpter earlier and wanted the other side of the story. Still, it was interesting to see the Confederate artifacts.

A quiet secret, staffed by volunteers, go inside. Its worth the $5 for air Conditioning & u could be amused

Dont know.. only takes cash in 2019.

Very interesting museum. Lots of displays in a limited space.

Very interesting. Should be open more days each week.

Very interesting memorabilia. I Saw a review here calling the museum racist? How ignorant are people these days? Well worth the $5 adult admission. One of a kind memorabilia thats a must see...

Small but a lot of artifacts ! People were nice and helpful. Taking photos is not permitted. $5. Free for military with ID.

Great historical place in Charleston SC
