Sneak preview of the Sol Legare Museum and Cultural Center
On the heels of a massive restoration and in conjunction with the encampment reenactment of the 54th Massachusetts Regiment Co I and their first fight at Battle of Ft. Wagner, The Seashore Farmers’ Lodge Museum and Cultural Center will hold a SOFT opening of its much anticipated Museum & Cultural Center this Friday, July 16, from Noon to 3 p.m. Visitors will be allowed inside to take a sneak preview of a few of the exhibits, relics, and progress on this once dilapidated, century-old structure. The museum will focus on Coastal African American communities at the turn of the century ranging from The Civil War to present.
The soldiers will be dressed in period clothing and conduct several skits and interactive sessions with visitors. The women of the 54th Massachusetts will be on hand as well, dressed in period clothing and hosting stories. The event will run from 12-3 and at 3 PM the 54th Massachusetts soldiers and the ladies will march down Old Sol Legare Road and board a boat to the Fort Wagner where the battle will commence. There are still spots available to join the troops at Fort Wagner for the battle re-enactment.
The lodge is located off of Folly Road down Sol Legare Road. For more information email us at sollegare@gmail.com or call Corie at 843.327.2213 or Ernest at 843.514.9604.
