A note regarding our Cultural Institutions

Teaching American History in South Carolina strives to provide online access to the Palmetto State's unique cultural institutions. Museums and historic sites in South Carolina offer teachers a variety of educational programs and resources for the classroom (and the field trip).

Each Cultural Institution page presents information relevant to a museum or historic site in South Carolina. Teachers can find contact information and links to websites, as well as primary sources and teaching materials relating to each of these cultural institutions. Teachers can take virtual tours of select museums and historic sites, which will encourage greater appreciation of the value of historic places, documents, and objects. These cultural institution pages provide online opportunities for numerous “teachable moments” as students discover history through local cultural resources.

Links to Cultural Institutions currently available on TeachingUShistory.org are provided below. Check this pages often for updates and new information.
