Ask for a Slow Art Day Guide at the front desk and head to the Special Exhibit Gallery for a guided experience of Unforgettable: The Civil Rights Photography of Cecil Williams. \nAllow yourself uninterrupted time with the photography on exhibit. Use your guide to reflect on your observations either individually\, through journal writing response\, or with your own learning community. Invite friends and family to have a conversation on what you each discovered and noticed. \nOn average\, museumgoers tend to view objects for under 30 seconds. Some say 7 seconds is the most time a viewer will spend looking at an object in a museum or gallery. How long does 30 seconds feel like? What about 5 minutes? How does the time we spend looking at something influence our observation? \nFounded in 2010\, Slow Art Day is a global event (more than 1\,500 museums and galleries have participated) with a simple mission: help more people discover for themselves the joy of looking at and loving art.

As long as it does not get shaded out\, ‘Pinky’ will slowly spread over the ground or spill out of containers. \nTricyrtis x ‘Miyazaki Hybrids’ – Toad Lily – 1 gallon – $8\nIvory white blossoms of this Tricyrtis curl open to display a splattering of purple spots. Fall flowering lends an exotic accent to the border. Roots should not be allowed to dry out. Absolutely sparkles in a woodland environment with rich organic soil. This late blooming shade lover will be the talk of your fall garden. \nEurybia divaricata ‘Eastern Star’ – Woodland Aster – 1 gallon – $8\nWoodland Aster is a low mounding perennial with glossy heart shaped or oval leaves. In late summer starry white daisies cover the plant and gleam in the shade. Plants are tough and adaptable\, prospering in part shade or shade and in dry or moist soils. This cultivar is more compact than the species with dark glossy stems. \nAster savatieri – Korean Aster – 1 gallon – $8\nJapanese Aster is a bone tough perennial for sun or light shade. We have never seen any disease or pest issues and the early fall bloom of white to pale purple flowers is showy and reliable.. \nBuddleja x ‘Inspired Violet’ – Butterfly Bush – 1 gallon – $8\nSweetly scented\, dark purple flowers decorate this seedless Butterfly Bush from midsummer into fall. Flower spikes are huge and they’re carried on stems that reach 4′\, growing taller in warmer areas. Butterflies find the blooms absolutely irresistible and swarm around them on warm summer afternoons. Being sterile\, the blossoms last longer and the plant is noninvasive. \nCanna ‘Thai One On’ – Canna Lily – 1 gallon – $8\nThis amazing Canna glauca hybrid was brought into the US by Texan Margie Brown\, who purchased it sans name from a roadside nursery south of Bangkok. The 6′ tall stalks of glaucous leaves are topped\, starting in summer\, with peachy-orange buds that open to lovely\, somewhat pendant fleshy-pink flowers that are attractive to hummingbirds. \nChrysanthemum x ‘Sheffield Pink’ – 1 gallon – $8\nThis perennial forms a 2-3’ clump and stems are thick from Sept to frost with flat faced\, large daisy flowers of soft apricot pink petals around a sunny yellow center. Full sun\, most soils\, average water needs\, easy to grow. Very low maintenance and floriferous. \nChrysanthemum x ‘Gethsemane Moonlight’ – 1 gallon – $8\n‘Gethsemane Moonlight’ is no weakling like many of the garden mums sold today. In addition to its amazing winter hardiness\, Chrysanthemum ‘Gethsemane Moonlight’ makes a rapidly expanding 2′ tall x 4′ wide clump topped\, starting in early October\, with large\, 3″\, bright yellow\ndaisies. \nChrysanthemum x ‘Campfire Glow’ – 1 gallon – $8\n‘Campfire Glow’ will keep your garden popping into late fall\, warming all with its toasty caramel and russet-red coloring. One of the year’s last flowers to bloom\, they nourish bumblebees and honeybees that visit. Beautiful cut flowers too! \nErigeron pulchellus ‘Lynnhaven Carpet’ – Fleabane – 1 gallon – $8\nThis outstanding form of native species E. pulchellus was selected for its relatively large grey- green\, pubescent foliage (4″)\, dense\, mat-forming habit and astonishing ability to thrive in a wide range of challenging conditions. In early May\, individual flower stalks give rise to lightly tinted lavender flowers with a yellow inner eye. Foliage remains less than 6″ and forms a tight groundcover\, while flowering stems top out at just over a foot tall. \nHemerocallis x ‘Autumn Minaret’ – Tall Daylily – 1 gallon – $8\nHemerocallis x ‘Autumn Minaret’ is a very tall\, mid-to-late season blooming daylily known for its delicate yellow-orange flowers with a darker eye and its long\, slender\, yellow-green foliage. It features strong\, upright stems that can grow up to 7 feet tall\, making it a showstopper in the late\nsummer and fall garden when it blooms\, attracting butterflies and hummingbirds. This dormant variety is easy to grow in full sun and well-drained soil\, tolerates heat and drought\, and may rebloom for an extended period.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n\nKniphofia uvaria ‘Glowstick’ – Red Hot Poker – 1 gallon – $8\nTowering spikes of nectar-rich flowers add vertical intrigue to a sun-loving garden. Columns of bright yellow are long-lasting and repeat blooming. Tolerates drought and heat once established. The slender leaf blades of Kniphofia Glowstick resemble an ornamental grass when not in bloom. Red Hot Poker perennials are low-maintenance bursts of color. \nLysimachia lanceolata ‘Burgundy Mist’ – Loosestrife – 1 gallon – $8\n‘Burgundy Mist’ a GroWild Nursery\, Tennessee selection of the Eastern North American native lance-leaved loosestrife. It was selected for its new burgundy foliage\, compared to the typical green and forms a 2′ tall x 3′ wide patch in 2-3 years\, clothed with linear leaves\, and topped\, starting in July and continuing all summer with small bright yellow flowers. Pollinators like native bees also love the nectar. \nOpuntia x ‘Baby Rita’ – Dwarf Cactus – 1 gallon – $8\nAn exceptional heat-loving dwarf hybrid with brilliant carmine colored flowers in a small padded\, purple-skinned prickly pear. Thrives in a range from coast to inland deserts\, and even into high altitude mountain areas! Loaded with spring blooms\, the blue-grey purple-tinged foliage color intensifies to a vibrant purple in winter. \nRosa x ‘Blush Noisette’ – Old Rose- 1 gallon – $8\nAs fragrant as ‘Champneys Pink Cluster’\, this first rose to bear the Noisette name is charming in its own right. The blush white flowers are cupped and double\, appearing frequently throughout the growing season but especially in great abundance in the fall and sporadically in winter. ‘Blush Noisette’ is one of the few Noisettes that maintains a nice bush form while displaying blousy flowers for which Noisettes are known. \nRosa chinensis ‘Mutabilis’ – Old Rose – 3 gallon – $15\nA healthy\, well-branched shrub\, ‘Mutabilis’ will easily grow to 6 feet\, making a fine specimen plant whose showy flowers are accented by the bronze color of the new growth. The flowers of ‘Mutabilis’\, whose single petals open sulfur yellow\, change through orange to a rich pink and finally crimson. Bright\, silky flowers of all these colors will often be on display at the same time\, looking as if a group of multi-colored butterflies has settled on the bush. This aspect earned ‘Mutabilis’ its common name–”The Butterfly Rose”. \nRosa x ‘Peggy Martin’ – Old Rose – 3 gallon – $15\nPeggy Martin\, also known as the “Hurricane Katrina rose”\, is a vigorous spring blooming climbing rose that can easily reach 15 feet or larger. Promoted as thornless\, we find this rose has prickles on the leaves’ backs\, while the canes are free of thorns. Its vigorous growth habit\, ease of care\, and breathtaking spring display makes Peggy Martin a rose even a novice grower can grow and enjoy. \nRosa x ‘Ballerina’ – Old Rose – 3 gallon – $15\nOne of the best roses for hedging\, ‘Ballerina’ produces clouds of small\, single\, pink roses with white eyes on a compact arching bush with thick foliage. It can be pruned to shape or allowed to spill over naturally. When the leaves begin to thin in the late fall\, the entire bush is lit up with tiny orange-red hips like bright Christmas lights. If grown as a climber\, this rose will reach 6 to 10 feet. \nHibiscus coccineus – Texas Star – 5 gallon – $20\nTexas Star is an herbaceous perennial in the Malvaceae (mallow) family. It is native to the southeastern United States and is sometimes called swamp hibiscus because it is native to marshes and swamps in Alabama\, Georgia\, and Florida. It can grow 6 to 8 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide. Flowers of red hibiscus mature in early summer to early fall and are very large and striking\, up to 6 inches wide. \nHibiscus x ‘Lilac Crush’ – Hybrid Mallow – 5 gallon – $20\nSUMMERIFIC® ‘Lilac Crush’ features large 7-8 inch wide\, lilac-pink flowers with a deep magenta eye. The lilac pink petals are generously overlapped with heavily ruffled edges. Standing 5-5.5 feet tall and spreading up to 4.5 feet wide\, ‘Lilac Crush’ forms a tall upright columnar habit. The maple leaf-looking leaves are a refreshing green color. Hardy in zones 4-9\, SUMMERIFIC® ‘Lilac Crush’ Hibiscus likes to be planted in full sun to part sun locations. \nGardenia jasminoides ‘Kaleidoscope’ – Variegated Gardenia – 5 gallon – $20\nThis selection of Cape Jasmine is variegated with striking creme colored strips and margins and produces extremely fragrant single white flowers in summer.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Collins and his team changed history when they found evidence of people living in Central Texas 20\,000 years ago. The film is more than a simple tale of discoveries at the Gault Archaeological Site. It illustrates the power of an individual to make a difference and what people can accomplish when they come together for the greater good.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”40px”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Multipurpose Room\nLecture Title: “An Update from the Field and Lab: Recent Historical Archaeology Along the Pee Dee River in the Greater Florence Area.” \nLecture Abstract: Over the last four years\, historical archaeology conducted through the Archaeological Institute of the Pee Dee (AIPD) has been undertaken at 11 sites and properties spanning the mid-eighteenth through early twentieth centuries. All of the sites studied contribute in small and large ways to the development\, settlement\, and creation of the communities that surround and comprise the City of Florence. From footpaths\, horse trails\, and rail lines\, to small backcountry churches\, planters’ settlements\, Revolutionary War-related sites\, and the small “lost” towns of South Carolina\, our archaeological research and studies through the AIPD and Florence Museum have generated a growing database we use to learn more about the historical development of the Darlington-Florence area than ever before. Agha will discuss the Cashaway Baptist Church site\, the search for Rev. Evan Pugh’s settlement and experimental gardens\, the plantation settlements of Jolly Webb and Revolutionary War veteran Major Robert Lide\, pre-Revolutionary War settlements and houses\, the sites affected by British Major James Wemyss as he burned most of the countryside north and south of Florence in 1780\, the late colonial town settlement of Long Bluff near modern Society Hill\, and the site of the old Florence Hotel (1860-1893) that burned to the ground just a few blocks away from the Florence County Museum. Agha will also discuss important artifacts found at these sites\, which are useful in our understanding of who the site inhabitants were\, their social status\, and how we can use those artifacts to learn more about the past peoples who lived along this stretch of the Pee Dee. \nAbout the Archaeologist: Dr. Andrew Agha has been practicing archaeology in South Carolina and the southeast since 1997 and is currently CEO of Aghatech Industries LLC. He has worked for various private and public entities and institutions and has taught Anthropology at the University of South Carolina-Columbia\, the College of Charleston\, and Coastal Carolina University. His main research deals with how colonial Carolina origins were influenced and shaped by experimental scientific agriculture\, where the intersection of early English sciences\, enslaved Africans\, and English “country estate” development during the 1670s and 1680s created Carolina’s “plantation society”.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n10:30 AM – 11:45 AM – Lobby\nExhibit Description:  Bobby Southerlin will display a variety of pottery vessels he has made\, representing a variety of vessel forms and decorative styles found in South Carolina. He digs his own clay and uses pottery fragments from archaeological sites as the inspiration/template. Vessels are open-fired in a shallow pit. On display will also be a variety of tools Southerlin uses to construct different pottery types\, and he will demonstrate traditional construction techniques by working on a small pot. Replica pottery vessels will be available for purchase.\n\nAbout the Archaeologist: Bobby G. Southerlin is the Founder of Archaeological Consultants of the Carolinas\, Inc. He was born in North Carolina and graduated from Spring Valley High School near Columbia\, SC. Southerlin earned his undergraduate degree (BA) at the University of South Carolina and did his graduate studies at the University of Georgia (MA).

Antiquarians and early archaeologists documented eight earthen mound complexes along the Wateree River\, and they and ethnohistorians associate these sites with the province of Cofitachequi. Intensive investigations at three mound complexes by archaeologists from the University of South Carolina\, Columbia\, over the last fifty years have revealed much about these communities that were among the first in the southeastern US to be visited by Europeans. \nAbout the Archaeologist: Christopher Judge has studied Native Americans in South Carolina for over thirty-five years.

In addition to foraging parties from both armies making their presences known across the countryside\, local vendors would visit army encampments when they came near\, to sell additional items to the soldiers. Ranging from fresh produce\, bread\, eggs\, and cheese\, to tobacco and more exotic luxury items like tea\, coffee\, sugar\, wine\, and chocolate\, petty sutlers had to be licensed to sell by the Quartermaster General of each army. This portrayal invites the visitor to consider what additional foods and comfort items might be offered for sale\, as well as how those items affected the health and well-being of the soldiers. Topics of conversation often include how civilians were licensed and how they interacted with the soldiers\, as well as discussions of currency and payment\, and the cost-benefit analysis of civilians who decided to sell to the army. \nAbout the Archaeologist: Carin Bloom is a public historian\, researcher\, and programming consultant in Charleston\, SC. Carin holds an Honors BA\, two MAs\, and a PhD ABD in Anthropology\, all with specializations in Historical Archaeology of the American Revolution. She is an archaeologist and public historian by training\, specializing in the history of the 18th century in America. Carin believes that immersive experiences help history come alive for those interested in exploring the past – she presents both in first- and third-person narratives. Carin focuses on lesser-known historical figures; those whose stories have not been told in the past have still made important contributions\, including the licensed petty sutlers of the armies of the American War for Independence.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n1:30 PM – 3:30 PM – Classroom\nActivity Title: Family Activity – Dining Detectives! \nActivity Description: Be a Ceramic Sleuth!
