In December, Historic Charleston Foundation (HCF) announced a new strategic plan adopted by their Board of Trustees. A component of the plan involved a proposal to offer for sale the Nathaniel Russell House, a grand historic house museum on Meeting Street in Charleston..
In response to the many who advocated for the site’s continued operation as a publicly accessible, historic asset for Charleston’s residents and visitors, the HCF Board of Directors voted on January 10, 2024, to reverse its decision. Instead, they plan to collaborate with a panel of experts dedicated to reimagining the museum’s operations and its collection. In the meantime, the Nathaniel Russell House will continue to welcome visitors.
