66th AnnuAl Spring FeStivAl oF houSeS And gArdenS

Through April 20

Experience the intimate charm and elegance found only beyond Charleston’s private garden gates and historic thresholds during Historic Charleston Foundation’s 66th Annual Spring Festival of Houses & Gardens.

Set amid the historic ambience of the city’s Old & Historic District, this series of award-winning tours showcases Charleston’s distinctive architecture, history, gardens and culture. These tours provide a rare opportunity for guests to go inside the private houses and gardens of some of America’s most beautiful historic residences, dating to the 18th century.

Charleston has been renowned for three centuries as “a city set in a garden.” The Festi-val is set during the peak of the city’s blooming season, and tours feature seven to ten properties each day in one of eleven neighborhoods, dating from the American colonial period, through the antebellum and Victorian eras, to early 20th century. Beautiful architecture and lush gardens are woven throughout the historic neighborhoods of Charleston, which has consistently been named among the ten most courteous and friendly cities in America.

There is a lot to experience during the Festival of Houses and Gardens. In addition to music, literary and culinary offerings, Morning History Walks, led by Charleston’s most experienced guides, are two-hour walking tours of the Old & Historic District that provide the perfect background for the afternoon or evening house and garden tours. No private sites or interiors are included on these tours. Tours depart from The Shops of Historic Charleston Foundation, 108 Meeting Street. Check in promptly at 9:15 am. For more information and tickets, call 843-722-3405 or visit www.historiccharleston.org.

Spotlight on the Arts

For 17 days and nights each spring, Spoleto Festival USA fills Charleston’s historic theatres, churches and outdoor spaces with performances by renowned artists and emerging performers in disciplines ranging from opera, theater, music theater, dance, and chamber, symphonic, choral and jazz music, as well as the visual arts. The 37th Annual Festival will present one of the largest lineups in recent history, with expanded dance and theater offerings and two original opera productions, as well as a wide range of classical and contemporary music.

The magnitude of this year’s program is particularly noteworthy as the Festival is facing two seasons without one of its primary venues, the Gaillard Municipal Auditorium, which is undergoing a major renovation. In addition to relocating its on-site box office operations to the Charleston Visitor Center at 375 Meeting Street, Spoleto is transforming the TD Arena at the College of Charleston from a state-of-the-art basketball facility to an acoustically balanced performance venue for Spoleto music and dance performances, complete with a traditional stage and full theatrical lighting.

Spoleto Festival USA has firmly established itself as one of the world’s major arts festivals, presenting a program of non-stop arts events since its inception in 1977. One of its tenets is to provide young performers the opportunity to work with veteran directors, designers and performers.

The wide range of performances this year is guaranteed to generate excitement. Spain’s renowned Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía will take the stage on May 31, June 1, and June 2, at the College of Charleston’s TD Arena. Soloists Pastora Galván and Rocío Molina, are considered by many to be two of the most exciting dancers working in flamenco

today. Other dance performances include tap phenom, Jared Grimes, who has danced alongside Ben Vereen

and Gregory Hines, along with an impressive list of dance performances.

The Dock Street Theatre will host the American premiere of the opera Matsukaze, composed by Toshio Hosokaw, on May 24, 26,

June 1, 4 and 8. This moving opera is a story about two sisters who are in love with the same man and will be sung in German with English

supertitles.

Compagnie XY will make their Spoleto Festival USA debut with a quintessentially French circus spectacle of heart-stopping stunts, stunning skill and distinctive style.

The highly popular Le Grand C will appear at Memminger Auditorium May 22-June 1. Theatre lovers have a lot to look forward to this season, with A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream performed by puppets and a two part science fiction thriller.

Always a favorite, the Westminster Choir will perform two concerts on May 30 and June 3. Joseph Flummerfelt makes his farewell appearance as Spoleto’s Artistic Director for Choral Activities with a performance of Verdi’s Requiem. Flummerfelt will be conducting the Westminster Choir, the Charleston Symphony Orchestra Chorus, and the Spoleto Festival USA Orchestra in perhaps the most moving and memorable concert of the Festival season.

In a first-ever collaboration, Spoleto Festival USA, the Charleston Horticultural Society, and The Garden Conservancy present “Behind the Garden Gate,” a self-guided tour through more than half a dozen of Charleston’s beautiful private gardens, many of which have never been on public tour.

Always highly anticipated, the Spoleto Festival USA Finale will again be held at Middleton Place and feature the Red Stick Ramblers, a unique hybrid of Cajun, honky-tonk and swing. Bring the family and a picnic to enjoy this high energy group, featuring a twin-fiddle frontline backed by a versatile rhythm section of guitar, bass and drums. The gates open at 3:30 pm and the concert begins at 8:30 pm. Ticket price includes entrance to Middleton Place.

Charleston’s historiC Market is one of the area’s must see attractions. having survived a tumultuous past, the Market has outlasted tornadoes, hurricanes, a major earthquake and devastation by fires and Civil War bom-bardment. over 200 years ago, a wealthy Charleston family willed land to the town of Charleston to be used as a public market, with the stipulation that the property revert to the family if used for any other purpose. to this day, the charm-ing Charleston City Market is a popular destination for visitors and locals alike.

Market hall faces Meeting street as the main entrance to four blocks of open-air buildings. one-of-a-kind shops and restaurants have something for every taste. Charleston’s famous carriage tours also depart from the area.

Folly Boat MessagesOn September 21, 1989, Hurricane Hugo roared through the Lowcountry with winds reaching 135 miles per hour and a 15 foot storm surge. After months of cleanup, a 30 foot, white boat was left stranded on the side of the road to Folly Beach, just past the Piggly Wiggly, wedged between the road and the salt marsh. No one ever claimed it, and residents began using the landlocked boat as an open air canvas. Through the years, mes-sages relaying birthday wishes, congratulations on a job well done, requiems for loved ones and marriage proposals have been painted on the side of the Folly Boat. If it can be painted, it’s probably been there at least once. Today, there is a website, Facebook page and Twitter account devoted to the Folly Boat, with photos of many of the messages through the years. Last year, a group of volunteers spent a day scraping nearly 5 inches of paint off of the hull, leaving a fresh canvas for future artists, as well as keeping the sag-ging paint out of the marsh.

If you want to paint the Folly Boat, there are a few rules you must follow. Anyone can paint the boat, residents and visitors alike. The most important rule is to park off of the road. You will be cited if you leave your car tires on Folly Road. Of course, don’t paint the road or pollute the marsh with paint, and take all of your trash with you when you leave.

After you’ve decided what you want to say, buy enough paint to do the job, remember-ing that you’ve got to have paint to cover the previous message. It’s quite a lot of work to cover the boat, so take your friends and family with you and make it fun. Bring your camera and take a few shots of your masterpiece before you leave—it probably won’t be there long!

antiqueS on the Sweet tea trailHere in the Lowcountry, one of our favorite cold beverages is sweet tea. It is served in nearly every restaurant, and if you visit the home of a local, you will mostly likely find a pitcher in the refrigerator. Today, the Charleston Tea Plantation, on Wadmalaw Island, is the only company to grow tea in North America and is open for tours daily. Call 843-559-0383 for more information.

The tea plant was imported to the Lowcountry and landed about 20 miles inland, in Summerville, in the late 1700s by way of the Ashley River. Tea was eventually successfully grown on Summerville’s Pinehurst Tea Plantation until the plants were moved to Wad-malaw Island at the beginning of the twentieth century.

On the second Sunday of each month, Summerville hosts a 2nd Sunday event, Antiques on the Sweet Tea Trail. Each month Summerville antique stores are open from 1-4 pm with special promotions and a fun monthly theme. Enjoy delicious treats at each store and relax at a local tea room after you’ve made the rounds—there is even a sweet tea cupcake available! The Summerville Visitor’s Center is the starting point for your day, with maps and info available. For more info, call 843-873-8535 or visit www.VisitSummerville.com.

Circa 1738, Drayton Hall began with the purchase of an advertised 350-acre tract along the banks of the Ashley River amongst other promi-nent Carolinians and their planta-tions. Envisioned by the 23-year-old John Drayton (1715-1779), Drayton Hall served as his family’s home-seat, both a primary residence and man-agement center for his vast plantation network spanning the colonies of South Carolina and Georgia, and growing to more than 76,000 acres. The ability of these Drayton planta-tions to be successful in indigo, rice, and cattle was dependent upon the herculean effort of the enslaved peo-ple brought from Africa. The total number of enslaved people residing on the numerous plantations within Drayton’s plantation network, and over multiple Drayton generations, is currently unknown. Although the numbers are unknown, evidence of their existence can still be seen on the Lowcountry landscape. At Drayton Hall the most dynamic testament of their presence is their burial ground, known today as A Sacred Place: the African American Cemetery.

The final resting place of an untold number of enslaved Africans and

their descendents, the burial ground was possibly first used by the enslaved people that pre-existed Drayton Hall and continued into the twentieth century. The first documen-tary record of the burial ground is a map simply labeled “B G Field 10 acres” likely drafted by Charles Drayton around 1790. Oral histories from descendents of those who chose to remain at Drayton Hall after the American Civil War explain the traditions and practices of the burial ground.

PRESERVATIONSOCIET Y OFCHARLESTONEstablished 1920

The freedmen after the Civil War worked for the mining companies that mined phosphate at Drayton Hall. One of the descendents was Richmond Herschel Bowens, Jr. (1908-1998). He was born to Richmond and Anna Bowens on September 2, 1908, at Drayton Hall. Bowens was raised on the former plantation; his ability to remember the property and the people was uncanny. His recollections, beginning around 1918, detail many aspects of life for the African American community at Drayton Hall before the Second World War.

On February 24, 1997, less than two years before his own passing and interment at Drayton Hall, Bowens recounted and reflected on the cemetery. His first recol-lection of the cemetery at Drayton Hall was the burial of his father, who died when Bowens was 12 years old. As he recalled the burial and funeral, he also included the memories of other burials at Drayton Hall. He recounted that the deceased’s body was, first, cleaned and dressed in the fashion deemed appropriate by the family, typically handled by neighbors and community members. The body remained in the household for a few days, with family and community members visiting and staying up, or “sits up” as referenced by Bowens, with the body until it was time for burial. A similar account was entered by Charles Drayton, I, into his diary on September 14, 1800, that Dumplin, the Drayton cook, has stayed out late “sitting up… with the corpse…” of Jack, noted by Charles Drayton as being his faithful groom. This tradition is noted by numerous historians as coming from Africa and being maintained throughout the generations.

The funeral service described by Bowens consisted of scripture readings, and a “dismissal” of the deceased from their household and the land. The body having been placed in the casket is then placed in the grave. Each grave was dug on an east-west axis allowing the deceased to face east toward the rising sun, which followed the traditions of earlier burials at Drayton Hall. With the casket placed in the grave, dirt is placed back into the grave bringing the dirt above grade to protect the grave from puddling rain water. The gravesite, typically, received markers cut from a smaller-diameter tree. The markers would remain round, unmarked, and be placed at both the head and the foot, with the foot marker being shorter than the head marker. It was also customary to place objects that the deceased cherished atop the gravesite, known as “dressing a grave.” Another commonly supported Africanism is the placement of objects, or “grave goods,” on gravesites to iden-tify the occupation and status of the deceased, proclaiming the life enjoyed. In the case of Bowens’ father, the family placed his barbering tools, clippers, razor, hairbrush, and comb, from his work as a community barber. They placed a name tag given to the family by the Dr. D. P. Ordway Plaster Company on the gravesite as Bowens’ father worked as a sales agent for the medicinal plaster company. A mustache cup with saucer was also


Counterclockwise: Young Richmond Bowens with Mother Anna Bryan Bowens and Aunt Harriett May

placed on the gravesite as Bowens recalled, saying his father drank his tea, not liking coffee, from a mustache cup. The cup had a guard to keep a heavy mustache from getting into the drink while drinking. Bowens also recalled his mother’s grave receiving cockle-wares, a vase with flowers, and the tools of a seamstress.

The completion of the burial and funeral service did not mark the end of remembrance of the deceased. In fact it was always customary for those buried at Drayton Hall to have a second “sermon” or service held six months to a year after the burial in remembrance of them.

In recent years, Drayton Hall, a historic site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, has been par-ticipating in remembering with the descendents of those buried on the property. On the 100th anniversary of Richmond Bowens’ birth, a ceremony and celebration was held, entitled, Ways of Remembering: Celebrating the Life and Legacy of Richmond Bowens, 1908-1998. It in turn led to the erection and dedication of the African

American Memorial Archway at the path leading into the cemetery to commemorate all those interred at Drayton Hall.

When you enter this place remember that it is sacred. Also, remember that it is left in a natural state, per the wishes of descendents, to maintain a peaceful rest for all those known and unknown in this burial ground.

Circa 1738, Drayton Hall is the oldest unrestored plantation house in America still open to the public and the nation’s earli-est example of fully executed Palladian architecture. Never modernized with electric lighting, plumbing, or central heating or air conditioning, the main house is unfurnished, allowing the beauty of the original architectural details to become the focus for visitors. Admission includes daily tours and programs. For more info, call 843-769-2600 or visit www.draytonhall.org.

For many years, the area around Shem Creek in Mount Pleasant has been known for its seafood restaurants and its night life, with some great views of the creek and the marsh. Now residents and visitors have two beautiful waterfront parts to enjoy: Mount Pleasant Memorial Waterfront Park and Shem Creek Park.

Known as the crown jewel of Mount Pleasant, Memorial Waterfront Park offers more than just your average park. The relatively new park is located under the grand entryway to the town, at the base of the Ravenel Bridge.

The park offers plenty of lawn for enjoying family picnics, a nautical-themed play-ground modeled after the bridge that provides shade for visitors watching the boats pass by, and enjoying soft-serve ice cream from the River Watch Cafe. The cafe offers beauti-ful views of Charleston Harbor and a 1,250-foot-long pier where you can sit and swing a while. Memorial Waterfront Park is also home to the Kruger B. Smith Visitor Center, Cooper River Room, Sweetgrass Cultural Arts Pavilion and War Memorial.

The Town of Mount Pleasant welcomed the community and visitors to the opening of Shem Creek Park in October 2012. Featuring 2,200 feet of boardwalk from Coleman Boulevard to near the mouth of the creek at Charleston Harbor, Shem Creek Park offers 250 feet of floating dock space, plus a commercial fishing dock.

Travel by boat to eat at a creek restaurant or take the local water taxi from Shem Creek to Patriots Point or downtown Charleston. Motorists will have a choice of 35 parking spaces next to public restrooms.

Shem Creek Park is the permanent home for an educational art piece, a nine-foot tall Pelican Sculpture created by School of the Arts students using marine debris collected in local water-ways. From the tires at the base of the sculpture, to his bottle-capped beak, Pete the Pelican is covered by marine trash to raise awareness of the ever-growing prob-lem of marine debris and how it affects local waterways and sea life.

For more information about visiting Mount Pleasant, call 843-884-8517 or visit www.comeonovermp.com.
