  Freshwater Coast Discovery Center to Celebrate Five Years web posted September 17, 2009 EDGEFIELD – The Freshwater Coast Discovery Center will host a “Heritage Harvest” event on Tuesday, October 13 from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. The event will showcase the heritage of the area and celebrate the five year anniversary of the Discovery Center. State Senator Shane Massey will speak on the development of heritage tourism in the area, the achievements of the past five years and the challenges for the future. Shealy’s barbeque will be served, along with music entertainment from Flatland Express. A silent auction will feature unique arts, house wares, gifts, discounts and other items from Abbeville, Edgefield, Greenwood, McCormick and Saluda counties. The museum will be open for tours and will offer a 20% discount at the gift shop, which is full of those one- of- a- kind gifts. Tickets are $20 per person and can be purchased by calling (803) 637-1237 or (864) 953-2465. Donna Livingston, chairman of the regional advisory committee of the South Carolina National Heritage Corridor (SCNHC), said “This event is an opportunity for the people of Abbeville, Edgefield, Greenwood, McCormick, and Saluda counties to celebrate our heritage and the fact that we are located within a nationally designated heritage area.” Livingston adds, “The success of our Discovery Center over the past five years is also worth celebrating.” The Heritage Harvest event proceeds will help support efforts to further promote the many attractions of the region through programming. The event is sponsored by the SCNHC Freshwater Coast regional advisory committee. The Discovery Center, located at 405 Main Street in Edgefield, is one of two centers operated by the SCNHC. The sister center is located on Highway 78 in Blackville. Through interpretive and interactive exhibits, the centers showcase the rich heritage of the counties they represent. Located in the Freshwater Coast of the Heritage Corridor, the center in Edgefield represents the counties of Abbeville, Edgefield, Greenwood, McCormick and Saluda counties. Recently added to the Corridor system, Saluda County’s history will be incorporated into the center over the next twelve months.
