South Carolina State Museum

The South Carolina State Museum is the largest museum in the Southeastern United States. The museum is located on an old shipping canal on the Congaree River that dates back to pre-Civil War times. It opened October 29, 1988 and is housed in what it calls its largest artifact, the former Columbia Mills Building, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The exhibits include life-size replicas of the Best Friend of Charleston, the first American-built locomotive, and the H.L. Hunley, the first submarine to sink an enemy ship in combat. The second floor is notable for its recreation of a Megalodon, named Finn, suspended mid-air just around a corner, which has scared countless groups of young children.
