Discovery Night at the Museum – Indigo Exploration

There is something special happening AFTER HOURS at the Coastal Discovery Museum. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to participate in unique experiences on Thursday evenings. Topics, activities, times, and fees vary…so keep checking the calendar to see what’s next.

Programs will include family-friendly and hands on activities in the Discovery Lab. Most will have a “take-home” component too! Check the Museum’s online calendar to find out more details about each week and to purchase tickets. Prices and exact times will vary.

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 (size Child M – Adult XL) 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 item 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.  Register HERE.

$15 per person.
