Get ready for a special kind of history tour! The State Museum’s is offering a “Dark History Tour” exploring a variety of infamous and legendary tales throughout South Carolina’s history. Discover the true story of Columbia’s catacombs, a series of mysterious tunnels that were built to hide anything from politicians to Confederate gold. Hear stories from Gullah Geechee folklore that are sure to chill you to the bone, and learn about the path General Sherman took during his march through Columbia.
Guests may take an educator led guided tour experience at 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. each Saturday in October (capacity is limited). A self-guided experience is also available every day with panels at each ‘stop’ and even a few multi media components available through scanning QR codes on your mobile device.
Suitable for ages 12 and up, this tour is sure to complement your museum visit this Halloween!
Tours are included with museum general admission.
