In the Dark of the Night
At Rose Hill Plantation State Historic Site
Join us for an experience bringing astronomy, history, nature, and recreation together. Surrounded by forest, with only the stars above you, come out to Rose Hill Plantation and join in on a twilight nature hike followed by a bonfire. Enjoy s’mores as you gaze at the sky, learning about the constellations and how enslaved individuals would use the cover of dark to escape north with only the stars to navigate their way. The South Carolina Midlands Astronomy club be present with their telescopes offering us a glimpse into the sky!
