Discussion on the different styles of homes in Colonial era South Carolina — from the stately mansions of Charleston to the “Rock House” of present-day Newberry County. Homes were as varied in design and construction as the people who lived in them.

Similar to a “traditional” scavenger hunt, participants will use digital devices to find items on a list that will be available at The Newberry Museum, beginning at 10 am. RSVP to learn more!

The workshop will teach participants how to attach a standard 4-hole button; learn a running stitch and hemming stitch and (time permitting) simple embroidery on a hoop. Please RSVP for more details and age limit.

This program is designed around a series of work-stations, geared to different age levels and abilities. Children and adults are invited to visit any of the work stations or all of them each day. These activities are open to the public without charge, and will run from 10am - 4 pm each day.
