Old Exchange & Provost Dungeon
After Charleston fell to the British during the Revolutionary War, they used Old Exchange & Provost Dungeon as a barracks and military prison. Built in 1771 as an Exchange and Customs House, the historic building now offers guided tours with costumed interpreters that cover the three floors of the building. Learn about Charleston history during the Colonial and Revolutionary eras as guides recount tales of the dungeons, pirates, and patriots that lived within the walls. You can also admire the Palladian architecture and see the sites George Washington visited during his weeklong stay in 1791. You can plan Charleston trip in no time by asking Inspirock to help create your itinerary.

The history of/in this building is incredible. It's well worth a visit if you are a history buff and are in town. We had a great time here visiting all three floors. Lots for kids to do also. Bathroom facilities and gift shop are available. Stop in here, you can't go wrong if you love history or old buildings!
