Three Beaufort History Museums Forge Visitation Partnership: Sticker Identification System Assures Discount
Beaufort, SC – July 6, 2021 - Three museums located in Beaufort’s downtown historic district will now offer visitors the opportunity to receive a discount on tickets. The Beaufort History Museum, Historic Beaufort Foundation and Santa Elena History Center have forged a partnership and are launching an innovative plan to encourage museum visitation. Here is how it works:
- Purchase a full price ticket at any participating museum and receive a sticker from that museum with your ticket.
- The museum sticker entitles the wearer to $1.00 off full price admission at the other two museums.
The museums are all within easy walking distance of each other and provide a scenic route through Beaufort’s downtown area. Each has a different mission, distinctive presentation and unique perspective so that a visit to all of the venues enhances learning and deepens the cultural experience:
The Beaufort History Museum: 713 Craven Street (Arsenal) c.1798 – Housed in the historic 1798 Arsenal, the Museum tells the story of the 500-year history in the Beaufort area through artifacts, photos and tours given by knowledgeable docents.
