Built between 1890 and 1895, this one-story cottage was home to Modjeska Monteith Simkins, one of South Carolina's greatest human rights advocates, from 1932 until her death on April 5, 1992. Today, her former residence continues to be a meeting space for people committed to improving the lives of the most underrepresented citizens in the community. Business hours reflect the tour time.
