🎃 Ever get the feeling you are being watched -- terrifying! 👻 Get in the Halloween spirit with our haunted doll tshirts. These limited edition shirts were designed by @RTLbooks to appease our resident haunted dolls for another year. $25, proceeds protect SC heritage☠️👹💀

There's a long weekend coming up, what are your plans?☀️🏊🏽🔥Here we have Kathleen Dyke preparing tea over a fire on the beach, Gibsons-area circa 1918. See you on the beach, and hopefully, down at the museum!

This doll may look sweet, but she loves to scare children! 👻 During a school tour, one of the students picked her up and screamed when her wig unexpectedly fell off. Get your haunted dolls tshirt before they sell out -- $25 with proceeds going to the museum & archives 🎃

It still feels like summer, but its that time of year again where the Museum schedule changes to our "winter hours". We will be closed on Sundays until next summer, but we are still open Tuesday-Saturday 10:30-4:30!
