The Woodrow Wilson Family Home in Columbia, SC is home to the nation's only museum dedicated to showcasing the post-Civil War Reconstruction period. Housed in South Carolina's only remaining presidential site, the museum offers guided tours that provide a multifaceted interpretation of Columbia's late 19th-century history, aiming to dispel the prevalent myths surrounding Reconstruction.
Originally known as the Woodrow Wilson Family Home, the site was repositioned in 2014 to explore the racial, social, and political landscape of Columbia and Richland County during the Reconstruction Era. Through panel exhibits, interactive technologies, and guided tours, visitors are immersed in the context of Columbia in the 1870s, learning about the profound political, social, and economic changes that took place during this transformative period in American history.
