The Low Country History Hall covers the history of all the people in South Carolina from the indigenous people to the forced labor (plantation) period. The displays are rich with archeological artifacts, photos, clothing, fine art, and more. Convention on 3 DASH lines.

It supports itself by annual fundraisers and admissions to the museum and it's two affiliate houses, the Joseph Manigault house (1803) and the Heyward Washington House (1772) as well as grant funding.
