SUMMARY:D-Day\, June 6\, 1944: The Memory Lives On
DESCRIPTION:D-Day\, June 6\, 1944: The Memory Lives On\nMay 18\, 2024 – April 27\, 2025 \nNormandy\, France will forever be marked by the June 6\, 1944\, D-Day Landings and the Battle of Normandy that led to the liberation of France and Europe.  2024 will mark the 80th Anniversary of this historic event. The Upcountry History Museum\, in its commitment to collecting\, preserving\, and disseminating the Upstate’s local history and to connecting it to national and international history\, will honor this momentous occasion with a special exhibition. \nJune 6\, 1944: More than 156\,000 Allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy\, France\, as part of the largest seaborne invasion in history.  Known as “D-Day\,” the name and date loom large in the memory of WWII.  D-Day put the Allies on a decisive path toward victory.  Beginning with the Normandy beaches\, they pushed back the Axis forces until Germany was forced to surrender less than a year later.  Their achievements were not accomplished without tremendous sacrifice\, as the Normandy invasion resulted in over 6\,000 American casualties. \nThe Upcountry History Museum\, in partnership with the Naval History and Heritage Command\, Washington\, DC\, will honor the individuals without whom D-Day would not have been a success: soldiers and sailors\, doctors and nurses\, engineers and pilots\, enlisted men and officers\, seasoned fighters and those who had never been in combat. These veterans stormed the beaches\, directed the landings\, sailed or flew in support of the invasion\, parachuted or piloted gliders into France\, and arrived in the days after June 6\, to continue the perilous work of pushing back and defeating the German Army. \nArtifacts\, uniforms\, archival materials\, ephemera\, art and more will share this remarkable moment in history and provide answers to What is D-Day? How do you get an army across the English Channel and into France when your enemy is well armed\, well trained\, and expecting you? How did a single day and its aftermath ultimately liberate Western Europe\, defeat Nazi Germany and end the Second World War? \nThe exhibition will include the contributions and sacrifices of Upstate South Carolinians\, many of whom were in their teens\, to commemorate their participation in the largest invasion ever assembled and to ensure that “the memory lives on.” \n  \n  \nSupport provided by \n  \n                      \n

SUMMARY:Revolution in the Carolinas
DESCRIPTION:Crescent Moon Over Carolina: William Moultrie and American Liberty \nPresented by C.L. Bragg\nMajor General William Moultrie is best remembered for commanding the valiant defense of an unfinished palmetto log fort on Sullivan’s Island at the entrance to Charleston harbor against a determined British naval attack on June 28\, 1776. While the Continental Congress in Philadelphia considered a draft of the Declaration of Independence\, Moultrie and his garrison of South Carolinians proved that untested\, but courageous\, American soldiers could stand firm and prevail against British might. \nDr. C.L. Bragg is a practicing anesthesiologist in Thomasville\, Georgia. His love for American history was sparked while researching his family’s history in South Carolina. He has published multiple books including Distinction in Every Service: Brigadier General Marcellus A. Stovall\, C.S.A.\, the critically acclaimed Never for Want of Powder: The Confederate Powder Works in Augusta\, Georgia\, of which he is coauthor\, and Crescent Moon over Carolina: William Moultrie and American Liberty. \n \n  \n  \n\nRevolution in the Carolinas is generously sponsored by:\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:White Christmas: The Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:White Christmas: The Exhibition\nNovember 16\, 2024 – February 2\, 2025  \nIn December of 1941\, seventeen days after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor\, Bing Crosby made the first live radio performance of a new song called “White Christmas.” Crosby’s unforgettable voice\, singing what would become one of the most iconic Christmas songs ever written\, went almost unnoticed in the flurry of activity around the United States entry into World War II. \nThe song had been created by songwriter Irving Berlin\, a Jewish Russian immigrant. Its nostalgic view of an ideal snowy northeastern Christmas had to wait until the August 1942 release of the movie Holiday Inn before its popularity would take off. Within a month of the film’s premiere\, sheet music and record sales propelled “White Christmas” to the top of the Hit Parade music chart for 10 weeks beginning in November 1942. From that point on\, “White Christmas” became an instant classic and one of the most patriotic songs of World War II. \nThe song won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1942 and was such a hit\, that Berlin decided to write an entire movie around it. \nPrior to the film’s release in the fall of 1954\, Variety wrote that “White Christmas should be a natural at the box office…with a hot ensemble including Bing Crosby\, Danny Kaye\, Rosemary Clooney\, Vera-Ellen\, and an Irving Berlin score.” Variety was right; White Christmas became the highest grossing film of 1954 and the highest grossing musical film of all-time. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Upcountry History Museum in partnership with the Rosemary Clooney House\, Augusta\, Kentucky and a private collector\, will host White Christmas – The Exhibition in the Winter of 2024. Greenville\, South Carolina became the second U.S. city to host the 2000 square foot exhibit in 2020. \nOriginal White Christmas film costumes created by legendary designer Edith Head\, props\, sheet music\, cast member’s personal memorabilia\, archival materials\, replica backdrops and more will invite visitors to experience first-hand the musical genius of Irving Berlin and the making of this beloved holiday film about two WWII veterans who team up with a singing sister duo to save a faltering Vermont lodge owned by the veteran’s former commanding officer. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nSupport provided by \n     \n
