Great museum! And the gift shop gifts are mostly (maybe all [?]) made in the US!
The museum is free, and has information on the famous fight itself, as well as an intricate diorama with an audio track explaining the fight.
There are authentic artifacts on display from the battle itself, including a real British marching drum.
The diorama is highly detailed and it shows why the fight was able ot occur at all: this was pasture country (just like the pastures in the UK) and there were already walls built presumably to prevent the animals from wandering away.
Thus, when the colonials fortified a position overnight, the position became very difficult to take from the British perspective.
Add to that disastrous street fighting in Charleston itself and the colonials' tendencies to snipe the well-trained officers... And you have the pyrrhic victory for the British. I don't even know if you could call it victory since the siege was still maintained.

Perfect little park.
Excellent place to catch a breath on the Freedom trail.
Well-maintained grounds and safe atmosphere.

Great selection for a small store.
In the states this would be similar to a Piggly Wiggly; it's a store slightly larger than a gas station but has a wide selection of goods/drinks and has some prepared food as well.
The prices are okay, not super cheap but not super expensive. The product quality was pretty good, and the prepared food was slightly plastic-y but still tasted fresh.
The location is also highly convenient if you're staying to the east of town as it's sometimes just a 10 minute walk.

Cool experience!
Is not conveyed through pictures, this is a fragrant garden that has a multitude of herbs/spices and nice-smelling flowers.
There's things like mint and other things like the spice used in Indian food.
If you're in the area of the museum and have already checked out the museum and the botanical gardens on the other side, recommended! It's just a short walk from the museum and it only takes 2 minutes to go through the whole thing.
