Join a costumed interpreter to learn how Carolina Gold rice was planted on the Lowcountry plantations and about the African origins of rice and its cultivation in South Carolina in the 18th and 19th centuries. Participants, if they desire, may get down and dirty in the demonstration rice field and assist with the planting! Traditional methods will be employed beginning with the May planting through the September harvest. Admission $25 per adult, $5 for children 7 – 15, and 6 & under are free.
