Indigo Exploration at Coastal Discovery Museum

Journey to the past and “meet” Eliza Lucas Pinckney.  In 1739, when Eliza was just 17 years old, her experiments with indigo resulted in a very profitable industry for the colony of South Carolina.  Hear her unique story, learn how indigo dye was made, and make your own indigo tie-dye t-shirt to take home.  The Museum will provide you with one t-shirt to tie dye with indigo dye, made from what was once our area’s well-known “cash crop.”  You are welcome to bring an additional cotton items to dye.

This program is for ages 7 and older.  Only registered paid participants will be admitted into this program.  All children must be accompanied by a registered adult.
