Lowcountry Africana, Family TYES of SC and The Phillip Simmons Foundation at the 2nd Annual Magnolia Plantation "History Fair"

CHARLESTON, S.C. - On Saturday, Jul 05, 2014, Magnolia Plantation and Gardens held its second annual History Fair.  For the second year in a row, the plantation held an entertaining and interactive weekend of performers, preservationists, and leaders in art and culture. Representatives from the participating organizations distributed information, made presentations and led activities that appealed to the amateur and the serious historian. Groups like Lowcountry Africana, Family TYES of SC and The Phillip Simmons Foundation are great examples of the foundation’s effort to find new and exciting ways to educate and empower history buffs of all ages.
