Fodor's Review:

This private archive and exhibit complex, with thousands of historic photos, documents, and books, is one of the finest research centers in the South. It occupies the 19th-century town house of General Kemper Williams and the 1792 Merrieult House. Changing exhibits focus on aspects of local history. History tours and home tours of the houses, grounds, and archives are offered several times daily. A museum shop sells books, prints, and gifts. Children under 12 are not admitted.

  • Cost: Exhibit and research library (410 Chartres St.) free, tour of houses or archive galleries $4
  • Open: Tues.-Sat. 9:30-3
