Before cotton was king and rice reigned supreme, South Carolina colonists struggled to find a cash crop that would provide them with a life of luxury.
Colonists experimented with a variety of plants for both produce and profit. Join us at Charles Towne Landing for “From Seeds to Shillings:
Growing Wealth at Charles Towne.”
This event will include colonial cooking demonstrations, activities in the crop garden, an apothecary program, cloth dyeing activities and more.
This is a family friendly event.
There's always more to do at Charles Towne Landing. Visit the museum, enjoy an audio tour along the History Trail, or walk through the Animal
Forest to encounter the animals that roamed Carolina before cotton was king and rice reigned supreme.
