Hanover House may be over 300 years old, but this year it is celebrating its 30th anniversary of being located in the South Carolina Botanical Garden on the campus of Clemson University.
Thanks to a grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Department of Historic Properties is hosting a series of speakers and hands-on, family-friendly activities to celebrate the anniversary throughout the month of October.
Our second week of programming includes an incredible lecture: “South Carolina’s Forgotten Landscape: A Cultural History of Old St. John’s Berkeley” with Richard Porcher, a scholar, educator and conservationist who is an expert in South Carolina botanical and cultural history,
At noon, join us at Hanover House for "Piece By Piece,” a quilting activity for all ages. Participants will put together quilt design puzzles, color their own quilt squares and draw their own original designs.
