Today is ! Did you know that our collection contains two large bird eggs? These eggs came from an ostrich and a rhea farm-raised in the Town of St. Stephen, SC in the 1990s.

The rounder (and larger) of the two eggs belonged to the ostrich; the more stereotypical "egg-shaped" one is a rhea egg.

•Engraving is limited to 20 characters, including spaces.

The Berkeley County Museum is closed today. We will reopen with regular hours tomorrow, May 26.

Did you know? The first Memorial Day was held here in the Lowcountry. After the end of Confederate control of Charleston, Union dead buried in mass graves were reinterred in a cemetery. On May 1, 1865, roughly 10,000 Charlestonians, mostly Black, held a parade and memorial ceremony for these war dead.
