Know Before You Go
The Charles Pinckney National Historic Site museum collection provides a look at plantation life both during the time of Charles Pinckney and subsequent Snee Farm owners. Artifacts recovered from within park boundaries represent almost 200 years of agricultural use and provide tangible links to the Pinckney family and plantation life. The bulk of the over 173,000-item collection is archaeological objects recovered from investigations within park boundaries. These objects include a large collection of 18th and 19th century imported tableware, enslaved African American ceramics, bottles, and British and American coins, along with their associated archaeological field records.
The Charles Pinckney Museum displays artifacts and archival materials from the collections of Charles Pinckney National Historical Site. These exhibits are housed in the visitor center, which is a Lowcountry farmhouse dated from circa 1828, shortly after the Pinckney era. The museum exhibits are self-guided with park staff available to answer questions. These exhibits showcase the history of Snee Farm, displaying artifacts associated with the Pinckney family, Gullah Geechee culture, eighteenth century farming techniques, and enslaved peoples. Many stories are told to portray the history of Snee Farm.
