    This the last corner of the main intersection in Charleston but its building is just as impressive. I did not get inside but I enjoyed the exterior.  more »

    This is a small free museum of Postal history. Very interesting with old postal equipment and other memorabilia. The building it’s in is beautiful. It opens at 11:30 and and takes about a half hour.....  more »

  • By Timothy Harris
    Awesome little free museum. It's not very big as it's only one room off to the side of an actual post office. But don't let that discourage you from stopping in for a quick 10-30 minutes to see some vintage postal items.
  • By Evan Guthrie
    The Postal Museum inside the Post Office on Broad Street is a cool place to visit and learn about history. I like looking at the old photos, stamps, and I so bad wanted to ride the bike in there. Nice to stop by and check it out after doing some postal business. One of my favorite free museums in Charleston.
