Special Events

History Happens Here
In addition to our regularly scheduled educational programs, the museum hosts a variety of special Saturday events throughout the year designed to connect visitors with South Carolina’s military history in engaging, unexpected, and memorable ways.

Some Saturdays may feature living history demonstrations, family activities, guest speakers, or themed community events. Others may spotlight anniversaries, historic milestones, or unique collections from the museum’s archives.

Something for Every Generation
Our Saturday programs are designed to be:
•    Family-friendly 
•    Educational and interactive 
•    Accessible to casual visitors and history enthusiasts alike 
•    Free and open to the public

Whether you’re attending a hands-on children’s activity, a military history symposium, or a special commemorative event, these programs offer new ways to experience the stories behind the artifacts.

Plan Your Visit
Because Saturday programming changes throughout the year, we encourage visitors to check our calendar regularly for upcoming events and announcements.

Every program offers a new opportunity to explore history, connect with the community, and experience the museum in a different way.
