Lifelong Learning Series…

The Foundation will be hosting four History Gathering workshops, one every Friday during month of February. These workshops are free and open to the public. We will be gathering the community’s knowledge, experience, artifacts, and cultural materials regarding the Grimball Road corridor to create a walking trail of Gullah-Geechie Historical Markers in the green space at the Grimball Road property.

This project is funded in part with a $10,000.00 grant from the SC Humanities, a state program of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
