Please call (843) 722-2996 if there are any weather concerns on the day of your visit.
Dr. Herold was able to locate the remnants of structures, a forge, and much more which proved to be home to city gunsmith John Milner Sr. Milner’s home and workshop had been crucial to the defense and trade of early Charleston. This work was then continued in and around the stable by The Charleston Museum’s Curator of Historical Archaeology, Martha Zierden, over the following decades. These excavations provided an unbelievable wealth of material and information which continues to be the topic of dissertations and research to this day.
