Old Slave Mart Museum
The Old Slave Mart on Chalmers Street was built in 1859 as part of Ryan's Mart, a market where enslaved people were sold at auction; it is believed to be the last surviving slave-auction building in South Carolina. The museum inside tells of the domestic slave trade in Charleston through documents, objects and the accounts of people who were sold here.
