 In the heyday of piracy (c. 1600- 1718), the Carolina coast was ravaged by rambunctious buccaneers such as Blackbeard, Anne Bonny and Stede Bonnet. This blockbuster exhibit brings the era of pirates alive with artifacts such as doubloons, cannon balls, pewter plates, a pirate ship's bell and more. Guests can handle reproduction clothing, swords, muskets and pistols; learn to tie a variety of sailor's knots; and learn to speak like a pirate. $5 for adults, $3 for children in addition to regular museum admission. |

 This exhibit consists of some of the best pieces of SC stoneware from the extensive collection of the Holcombe family of Clinton, SC. Most of this exquisite pottery has never been on public display before. The show will include some classic Dave (a slave potter who worked in clay from the 1830s into the 1860s) pieces, to upstate examples from the Thomas Owenby and other important 19th century potters. The family collection will be supplemented with some pieces from the State Museum collection and a potter's wheel that contemporary potters will use to demonstrate their craft on selected weekends. |
