Festival Tours
House and Garden Tours
Hallmarks of the annual spring Festival
are the daily house and garden tours, which allow
guests to explore Charleston from a rare vantage
point. Each neighborhood tour is identified by a
central street, and a selection of private houses,
gardens, and notable buildings are within walking
distance of each other. Guests are welcomed into
these sites, not normally open to the public, along the
route during each self-paced tour.
The educational walking tours highlight three
centuries of historic architecture as well as exquisite
private gardens. Buildings from Charleston’s
prosperous Colonial days through the tumultuous
antebellum period and into the 20th century stand
side by side, revealing layers of rich history. Guides
are stationed at each tour site to provide information
as guests enjoy an exceptional opportunity to observe
how contemporary lifestyles are lived within the
framework of Charleston’s renowned architectural
heritage.
Enjoy this exclusive opportunity to see beyond
the magnificent doorways and garden gates of one of
the most enchanting cities in the world.

Nathaniel Russell House Museum, c. 1808
For mor e t h a n t wo
centuries, visitors have
admired the grand Federal
townhouse of Charleston
merchant Nathaniel Russell.
Set amid spacious gardens,
the house is widely recognized as one of America’s
most significant neoclassical
dwellings. The graceful interiors, with elaborate plasterwork, geometrically shaped
rooms, and a magnificent
free-flying staircase are among
the most exuberant created
in early America. Located
in the heart of the Old and
Historic District, the house
is furnished with period antiques and works of art that
evoke the gracious lifestyle of the city’s early 19th century
merchant elite.

Aiken-Rhett House Museums
Aiken-Rhett House Museum, c. 1820 48 Elizabeth Street
The Aiken-Rhett House and its outbuildings are preserved as rare intact artifacts
that survive to tell the story of their evolution through time. Greatly expanded by
Gov. and Mrs. William Aiken Jr. in the 1830s
and 1850s, the house has survived virtually
unaltered since 1858.
A successful businessman, rice planter,
distinguished politician and governor of South
Carolina, William Aiken Jr. was one of the
state’s wealthiest citizens. Following a wellestablished tradition among Charleston’s elite,
Gov. Aiken and his wife, Harriet Lowndes
Aiken, traveled in Europe and returned with magnificent fine
art and furnishings. Today, visitors will find many of these
objects in the same rooms for which they were purchased.
The Aiken-Rhett House remained in the family until
1975. Historic Charleston Foundation works to conserve
and protect the historic layers of the past rather than restore
the buildings to a specific moment in time.

Do your house and garden tours sell out? Can we purchase
tickets once we arrive in Charleston? We will happily sell
tickets to any of our tours as long as they are available.
Many tours do sell out, so we recommend purchasing tickets
well in advance. Please be advised that we have a no refunds
policy. Learn more on page 22.
Where do we park? Where is the nearest restroom?
The closest parking and restrooms will vary by tour. Please
reference the map on page 3 to address your specific tour.
We are proud that Charleston is a “living” city, and our
tours take place in residential neighborhoods. Therefore,
public facilities and vendors within those neighborhoods
are limited by city ordinances. Please take advantage of the
restrooms at the Festival Ticket Office, 108 Meeting Street,
prior to your tour.
Will the tour take the entire three hours allotted?
Our tours are self-paced, so it is possible for a tour to take
less than three hours. We advise that you begin promptly at
the start time so that you can see everything offered on that
particular tour.
May we take pictures on tour? In accordance with South
Carolina state law and to protect the safety and security of
our homeowners, photography is not allowed in the houses
and gardens on tour. Learn more on page 22.
What happens if it rains? Our tours go on rain or shine. If
weather is a concern, please feel free to bring an umbrella.
If we want to attend two of your events in a row, will we
have enough time to get to the second event? Most of our
events take place within close proximity to one another, so
it is generally easy to walk from one event to the next. Call
the Festival Ticket Office, 843-722-3405, for information
regarding specific event locations.
What flowers are in bloom during the Festival?
Springtime in Charleston is beautiful, and you should
expect to see various flowers in bloom throughout the
Festival. While nature’s timeline is not exact, camellias
are often in bloom as the Festival begins. Azaleas typically
begin their blooming period at the end of March and last
into April. Many varieties of roses are in bloom during the
Festival, especially in April. Other blooming plants, flowers, and trees that you might see include wisteria, narcissus,
Confederate jasmine, cherry, redbud and dogwood trees.
