Coastal Discovery Museum on Hilton Head Island, SC, Moves to Honey Horn
This fall the Coastal Discovery Museum will celebrate its 22nd year of continuous educational service to thousands of school children, residents and visitors regarding this wonderful place that we call home - Hilton Head Island, SC. This year will also mark an important landmark in the Museum's history - moving into its new home at Honey Horn.
The Museum has completed a comprehensive plan to create a first-class cultural education center at Honey Horn. This beautiful 69-acre site will serve as the Museum's base for programs highlighting the cultural heritage and natural history of the Lowcountry. And, it will provide a signature venue for community events for people of all ages.
The completion of Phase One of this multi-phase project will be celebrated at the Grand Opening on Oct. 27, 2007. The opening includes the renovation of a 6,000 sq. foot former hunting retreat, renamed the "Discovery House," containing the Museum's new interactive exhibits, temporary gallery space and community meeting rooms. Visitors to the Discovery House will also enjoy a new terrace overlooking Jarvis Creek with direct access to a series of educational boardwalks. The new Mary Ann Peeples Pavilion (for programs and special events), exterior interpretive signage and tails round out the offerings available this fall. Future phases of the project include the construction of an enclosed native butterfly habitat, and renovation of other structures to be used for classroom space, administration and public uses.
Ribbon cutting will take place at 9:30am on
Oct. 27, followed by a day of activities and programs until 4pm.
Programs scheduled for that day include: live alligators form
Gatorland, marsh tacky display, Civil War Roundtable, food samplings,
history and boardwalk talks and walks, and many other activities.
