Museum Monday update: HCF is partnering with @acba_charleston for important plaster repairs in the Kitchen and Laundry of the Aiken-Rhett House Museum. Students are able to learn about important techniques and materials and try to use these skills under the watchful eye of professors and our team along the way. Work will continue over the next few weeks! You may see this preservation in action on your next visit to the c.1820 historic house museum — stay connected with us to follow along with the progress. In other HCF news, we’re breathing a sigh of relief waving goodbye to Imelda as we continue to prepare for a busy weekend. ➡️ Don’t miss the fourth annual Family Day this Saturday, October 4, from 3-6 pm! ⬅️ At family fundraising events like this one, guests of all ages are able to experience history in a new way with historically inspired activities, games, crafts and more. Tickets are still available online! (fb)

A big thank you to Emilie Zuhowski and the Palmetto Life team for highlighting the incredible work at Mosquito Beach! Thanks to the generous support from the Mellon Foundation, HCF has been honored to work closely with the Sol Legare community as work continues to rehabilitate both the Pine Tree Hotel and the Skeeta Beach Lounge. Learn more about this community from leader, Cubby Wilder, and follow along with progress with HCF on our social media accounts through the fall. (fb)
