The Charleston Museum has always prided itself in bringing aspects of our history together and presenting them in a truly compelling fashion. Among their many exhibits and attractions, you'll find how the role of textiles played a vital part in the Civil War in a popular exhibit called the Threads of War. Also, a similarly themed exhibit focuses on how Charleston survived being under siege during that particular war and how it pressed on to become the vital city that it is today. More interactive adventures like Kids Story and much more continue the museum's rich tradition of reaching into the lives of children who will one day pass the stories and experiences they've learned here along to their own kids.
The Mount Pleasant Children's Day Festival is a day-long celebration of children and all the fun that goes with them! The kids can enjoy everything from jump castles, clowns, pony rides, climbing walls as well as lots of great food. The event is coordinated by the Mount Pleasant Recreation Department to help raise money for local PTAs. The fest is so popular that it attracts thousands of visitors from all across the South Carolina Lowcountry, so make plans to be there for all the fun.
