The Confederate Museum in Charleston, SC is a historical institution that preserves and showcases relics from the Confederate era. Housed in the iconic Market Hall, which once served as a meeting place for market commissioners and hosted elegant social functions, the museum was established in 1899 by the Charleston Chapter #4, United Daughters of the Confederacy, with the support of former Confederate soldiers.
With a collection that grew rapidly through donations from former soldiers during a reunion of the United Confederate Veterans, the Confederate Museum offers visitors a glimpse into the lives and experiences of those who fought for the South during the Civil War. The museum's location holds historical significance, as it was the very place where many of these young men had danced before embarking on their military service.
