Kaminski House Museum — Attraction in Georgetown

My husband and I booked a site visit with Kim at the Kaminski House and immediately fell in love with the location...honestly I don't know who fell in love with it first. We completed the tour and Lan took me onto the lawn, twirled me around and said "this is where I want to marry you." I have owned a wedding planning business in Charleston, SC for years and I immediately knew that I had found the location that I had to have for my wedding day. The property is gorgeous especially for a May wedding - I had to use it all and I did! The harbor walk area, the terrace, the front porch, the lawn - all were major key elements that made my wedding memorable. I had approximately 125 guests that fit nicely on the side terrace. Please know that I did not have any attendants except for my girls. Can you have more...yes but I wouldn't advise for more than 2 attendants on each side if you used my same setup. My husband and I visit Georgetown to enjoy Harbor Walk, but we always make a point to stop at the Kaminski House to...

The 255 year old Kaminski House Museum is clearly a rare jewel of American historic homes. We thoroughly enjoyed our guided tour by Nick. You’ll appreciate how well versed he is on the home’s history and the local prominence of its owners over two centuries. This picturesque home, the backdrop for yearly nuptials, currently reflects the remodeling and updating by Harold and Julia Kaminski after they purchased it in 1931. The furnishings are primarily from the 19th and mid-20th centuries. Thank goodness the home is air conditioned throughout! By touring this property, your admissions fee, cash donations, and gift shop purchases go to the site’s long-term upkeep, which we were happy to support by our visit. America’s historic properties need to be protected and preserved for future generations to experience in person. Laura & Mark...

I hadn't been to the Kaminski house in several years, so I decided to stop in and visit earlier this year. The house is beautiful inside and out, a Georgian Colonial two-over-two with 19th century additions, built on a bluff overlooking the bay and Georgetown's historic district. The decor and Christmas decorations (which were due to be taken down the day after our tour) are well-chosen to accentuate the historic aspects of the room they were in, whether that particular room was more interestingfor its 18th/19th century architecture or its 1940s/50s use. One thing I hadn't realized when I lived in the area is just how big a role the Kaminskis and their house played in some major events of the mid-20th century. Not to share any spoilers, but I can strongly recommend this tour to anyone interested in Colonial, Victorian, or...
