Celebrate the season with a candlelight tour of the Nathaniel Russell House, where Charleston’s post-colonial elite marked the holidays in 1808. Built by merchant Nathaniel Russell, the home reflected both international connections and the grandeur of Charlestonians at that time.
By candlelight, visitors will experience a uniquely curated tour designed for the holiday season. Guests will have the opportunity to see first-hand how Russell’s family celebrated the holidays in an era of prosperity and display, while also considering the vital labor of the enslaved men and women who made such celebrations possible.
Tickets are $45 and must be purchased in advance. Tours will be offered four times each evening on November 20 and 21 starting at 5:30 pm.
