  Stage of Southern History to be shown at Edgefield’s Razzle Dazzle Day web posted May 14, 2010 EDGEFIELD – The recently released documentary, Edgewood: Stage of Southern History, will be shown in Edgefield, S.C. on Saturday, May 22, 2010 as part of the Razzle Dazzle Day festivities. One of three events in the yearlong celebration for the town’s 225th birthday, Razzle Dazzle Day will be a family fun event on the square with activities for children available. Free showings of the documentary Edgewood: Stage of Southern History will take place at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., and 3 p.m. in the Orientation Room of the Discovery Center. The documentary’s story begins in Edgefield, and parts of the movie were filmed in the town. Edgewood DVDs will be available for purchase at $20 each at the free showings. Over the years, Edgewood has served as the stage for many important periods in Southern history. Originally built in 1829 in Edgefield, S.S. for secessionist governor Francis W. Pickens, the house was home to two remarkable women, Lucy Holcombe Pickens and Eulalie Chafee Salley. Lucy was known as the “Queen of the Confederacy” and was the only woman to be featured on Confederate currency. Eulalie was one of South Carolina’s earliest business women and was also a leader in the suffrage movement. The documentary tells the stories of the many people who lived, worked and visited the house in its 180 years of existence including stories of: the Antebellum era in South Carolina, the War Between the States, the Pickens visit to Czarist Russia, the Suffrage movement, the Winter Colony settlement in Aiken, and the Civil Rights Era. Today, the house is known as the Pickens-Salley House and is located on the University of South Carolina Aiken campus. More information on the documentary is available at www.edgewoodfilm.com To attend the movie, reservations must be made by contacting the Discovery Center at 803.637.0877 or edgefielddc@scprt.com.
