Step back in time and “meet” Eliza Lucas Pinckney, brought to life by author, historian and re-enactor Peggy Pickett. At just 17 years old in 1739, Eliza's experiments with indigo led to a thriving industry in colonial South Carolina. Discover her fascinating story, learn about the process of making indigo dye, and create your own indigo tie-dye T-shirt to take home. The museum provides one t-shirt (sizes range from child medium to adult XL). Feel free to bring one additional small cotton item, such as a shirt, tea towel, scarf, or apron, to dye as well.
$20 per person
Peggy’s book, Eliza Lucas Pinckney: Colonial Plantation Manager and Mother of American Patriots, 1722-1793, is available for purchase in the Museum Store.
