Honestly we went to this museum because it was so cold outside we wanted to burn some time. We travel with our children and we thought it was going to be boring for them... Wrong!. the kids loved it, the lady doing the tour was very engaging and we learned a lot about the rice plantations and why they are... More

Not knowing anything about rice production in the US I found this very interesting. There isn't an awful lot to see though and I was beginning to think that $7 was a bit steep but the ticket included the Kaminski Museum next door.

I'm from New York and I'd really never given a thought to rice plantations. Not sure I had ever heard of them. This local museum does a great job of informing and teaching about the history of rice growing in South Carolina. I bought bags of their homegrown rice and now purchase it regularly over the internet - it's really... More
