What's New at the Museum?
​
 

Pike Hole Painting

Picture
Come see a new beautiful depiction of Summerville "Days of Yore" painted by historian,  Dr. West. 
The piece serves a snap shot of Pike Hole in 1888, which features the Church of the Epiphany, a fisherman
showing off a freshly-caught pike, as well as philanthropist and Summerville entrepreneur, Kitty Springs, making a sale of one of her splendid hats from her buggy .  

The Newington Plantation Bell 

Picture
As part of a continued exploration into Summerville's past, come see an original relic from the "house of a hundred windows".   The bell, one of only a few artifacts remaining of the once magnificent Newington Plantation that burned down twice, is a reminder of the undue suffering endured to create the successful plantation economy of the South. Learn more about its history and consider the lives of the enslaved persons who labored on estates like it throughout the Lowcountry.
