SUMMARY:The Art of Warner Bros. Cartoons
DESCRIPTION:The Art of Warner Bros. Cartoons\nJanuary 31\, 2026 – June 14\, 2026 \n  \n“Animation isn’t an illusion of life. It is life.”\n– Chuck Jones\, Warner Bros. creator \n  \nFor over 90 years\, Warner Bros. animation has brought joy to all ages. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies produced some to the most iconic animated characters – Bugs Bunny\, Porky Pig\, Daffy Duck\, Tweety Bird\, Wile E. Coyote\, Road Runner\, Elmer Fudd\, and more. \nThe classic Warner Bros. short animations were different from any other in that they were made with an adult audience in mind. The funny\, exuberant stories with a breath-taking pace were peppered with sharp satire and references to topical matters and real-life phenomena as well as endless verbal fireworks. Six to seven minutes long\, the cartoons were originally screened in film theatres before the feature film. \nThe Art Of Warner Bros. Cartoons\, an international traveling exhibition\, includes 160 objects and film clips that invite visitors of all ages to explore the history of the legendary Warner Bros. animation studio. The exhibition includes original production artwork\, including drawings\, paintings\, and transparent celluloids used to create some of Warner Studios’ classic cartoon shorts from their 1930 debut through the early 1960s. \nVisitors will explore the elaborate process that went into the making of the classic Warner Bros. cartoons\, considered to be among the finest\, funniest\, and most inventive animated shorts ever made. Vivacious\, colorful and highly animated\, the exhibition traces the development of all of Warner’s cartoon stars and gives a step-by-step breakdown of how animated films are made. \n  \n            \n  \nSupport provided by \n    \n

SUMMARY:Battleground Carolina: The Fall of Savannah
DESCRIPTION:A 10-month lecture series meeting on the first Tuesday at 5:30 PM of the listed months below.\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin historian Durant Ashmore in an engaging lecture series that explores the American Revolutionary War through the lens of South Carolina’s Backcountry\, a region whose people\, terrain\, and battles played a critical role in the struggle for independence. While often overshadowed by events in the northern colonies\, the Backcountry was a contested and volatile landscape where Loyalists\, Patriots\, and British forces clashed in brutal and decisive engagements. \nDrawing on primary sources\, battlefield archaeology\, and recent scholarship\, Durant Ashmore will examine key battles of the Backcountry\, the leaders and dedicated militia who fought them\, and the civilian populations often caught in the middle. The series will highlight how guerrilla warfare\, local loyalties\, and geographic factors shaped the course of the war in South Carolina\, ultimately and directly influencing the outcome of the Revolution. \n  \n\nJanuary 6  |  February 3  |  March 3  |  April 7  |  May 5  |  June 2  |  August 4  |  September 1  |  October 6  |  November 3 \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLecture #4 – April 7 : The Fall of Savannah\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nRESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED.

SUMMARY:Foundations of a Revolution: South Carolina\, 1775-1777
DESCRIPTION:The Upcountry History Museum is proud to be the Upstate’s only venue for the display of the South Carolina Department of Archives and History (SCDAH) exhibit\, Foundations of a Revolution: South Carolina\, 1775-1777\, on Thursday\, April 23\, 2026\, from 1:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. \nOn display will be three of the state’s original founding documents from the American Revolution. They are the 1775 Articles of Association for the District East of the Wateree\, the South Carolina Constitution of 1776\, and the 1777 Treaty of DeWitt’s Corner.\nThese documents are part of the vast collection documenting the history of South Carolina held by the SCDAH and are seldom placed on public display.\nDr. W. Eric Emerson\, SCDAH Agency Director\, State Historic Preservation Officer\, and State Archivist\, remarked that “the S.C. Department of Archives and History has a long tradition of making South Carolina’s historic records available to the public. The 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding is an excellent time to educate South Carolinians about their state’s crucial role in the American Revolution by bringing key foundational documents to communities throughout the state.” \nExhibit curator\, D. Andrew Johnson\, PhD\, noted that “since the South Carolina Department of Archives and History holds many important documents from America’s Founding Era\, we thought this would be an excellent time to have some of them on public display. We want this exhibit to add to the broader conversation the public is having about the origins of our country.” \nIn addition to the display\, Archives staff will provide a presentation about the documents at 6:30 p.m. in the Museum’s theater. They will discuss each document’s influence and place them in the context of their production. \nRegular admission for full Museum access will be charged from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. \n\nAdmission is FREE from 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. and limited to viewing the Founding Documents. \n

SUMMARY:Upcountry Road to Freedom
DESCRIPTION:Upcountry Road to Freedom: Upstate South Carolina During the American Revolution\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApril 25\, 2026 – September 5\, 2027  \nIn a war remembered more for battles at Bunker Hill\, Saratoga\, and Yorktown\, it was the events of the Southern Campaign\, 1778-1781\, that finally turned the tide for American independence. The hard-fought war came to an end in 1783\, but not before South Carolina found itself at the frontline of battles against British forces determined to regain control of the war by redirecting their efforts to the Southern colonies.  This central military operation involved strategic battles in the Carolinas\, Georgia\, and Virginia. \nMore than 135 military engagements took place in South Carolina during the Revolutionary War.  Most were skirmishes involving patriots and loyalist militias.  A few\, however\, were battles that directly affected the outcome of the war. \nCommemorating the 250th Anniversary of the United States of America\, the exhibition will focus on Upcountry South Carolina people\, places\, and events.  This major exhibition\, organized by the Upcountry History Museum in partnership with Clemson University and private collectors\, will explore the lesser-known people of Upcountry South Carolina\, who helped turn the 13 colonies into one nation. \nHistoric artifacts\, archival materials\, and accoutrements from soldiers\, civilians\, and diverse groups\, many on loan from private collections\, will illustrate key phases of the war including the path to independence\, colonists to revolutionaries\, the war’s darkest hours\, and the new nation’s formation. \nDiverse perspectives\, including stories of Upcountry South Carolina women\, African Americans (free and enslaved)\, indigenous peoples\, and soldiers will further illustrate what it meant to gain independence and become the United States of America.
