Rice Museum, Georgetown

For history buffs, this is a very cool place! We arrived close to closing so we couldn't see much but there are three levels to the museum. There is a fee to tour parts of the museum which I believe was $5 and I will definitely come back to do it! When we walked in, we were offered champagne or wine. It was delicious! I don't know if this was just a holiday thing so if you go and there's no drink, don't get mad! The artifacts were very cool! They showed artifacts from the Gullah culture which I've started showing an interest in knowing more about and the history of how important rice was to that particular part of SC's region. I didn't even know that there was a distinct version of rice popular to SC until I went here! I loved that there was actual rice that you could buy and try yourself! I wish they had some of that to sample! Worth me taking some vacation days off to tour the rest of Georgetown, SC and eventually Charleston!
