AVery FashionableChristmas At The Kaminski House Museum For more information contact the Kaminski House Museum at 843-546-7706 The history of Christmas as an American celebration will be featured in a holiday exhibition and candlelight tour entitled, A Very Fashionable Christmas at the Kaminski House Museum. The dining room, the library and the drawing room in the Kaminski House Museum will showcase Christmas décor from various periods in American history. The dining room will be dressed in greenery, holly, glass and glitter to represent the extravagance of the early 1900s and the Edwardian Period. Classic Victorian decor and more natural greenery and ivy decorations, indicative of the 1840s through the 1860s, will be displayed throughout the drawing room. Lots of tinsel and sparkle dominated Christmas décor during the 1940s through the 1960s and will be showcased in the library. This was the first time in American history that Christmas ornaments were not produced in Germany but began to be manufactured by Shiny-brit, an American light bulb company. The holiday exhibition and candlelight tour will be on Saturday, December 6, 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. and on Thursday, December 11, 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $15 and may be purchased at the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce, Julia’s Past & Presents (the Kaminski House Museum gift shop), Bienvenue Home & Swamp Fox Tours and Rice Birds, all located on Front Street in historic Georgetown. Julia’s Past & Presents will be open during our holiday event to assist shoppers in finding unique gifts for everyone on their lists. Constructed circa 1769, the Kaminski House was home to many prominent Georgetown residents. The home’s pre-Revolutionary War architectural details are an elegant background to the varied interiors that help bring to life Harold and Julia Pyatt Kaminski, the home’s last residents. Mrs. Kaminski left the house and its contents to the City of Georgetown upon her death in 1972. It was opened as a house museum in 1973. Located at 1003 Front Street, the Kaminski House Museum is open Monday-Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Tours are given at 11:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. Admission is $12.00 (for a tour of both the Kaminski House and the adjourning Stewart-Parker House).

Page 9 • www.TheCoastalJournal.com • November 2014 Built in 1769, constant evolution of this structure called the Kaminski House, is seen in old photographs that have managed to survive many years of being preserved for future generation viewers. The phases of these structural changes and expansions indicate that this home has served many personalities; each having influence on it’s existence on a bluff overlooking Front Street and the Sampit River in Georgetown, South Carolina. Upon Julia Kaminski’s death in 1972, the home was willed to the City of Georgetown for use as a museum. In 1973, this beautiful home was opened to the public to present its history during the colonial period, the difficulties of Civil War and Reconstruction, World War II and the bombing of Pearl Harbor, as well as highlight stories of international travels and social activities enjoyed by prominent lowcountry dinner guests. One of Georgetown’s architectural jewels, this house contains an outstanding collection of American and English antiques from the 18th and 19th centuries, including a 15th-century Spanish wedding chest, a Chippendale dining table, and some excellent pieces from Charleston in the 1700s. Many of the interior architectural details, including moldings and the original floors, have been left intact. The drawing room ceiling is outlined with thick Georgian dentil molding and the fireplace mantle features detailed Candlelight molding carved out of Cypress wood. As you view each room of the Kaminski House, absorbing it’s warm history, you find yourself visualizing a lifestyle boasting with grandeur. A lifestyle that very few in the old world were fortunate enough to live. You can also imagine – struggles with sickness, the uncertainties of war, public recognition, excitement, romance, family wealth, and honor. Ownership of this home and property changed hands many times before the Kaminski’s purchased it. Original owner of the property, Paul Trapier gave the property to his daughter, Elizabeth, who later married Edward Martin. The home was passed down to John and Magdalene Keith. John Keith was Georgetown’s first mayor. The house and property was then passed to Magdalene’s sons upon her death. The property later transferred to Mary Vernon around October 1855, then transferred to Thomas W. Daggett January 1866. July 1866, Daggett sold to Arthur Morgan. Morgan died in 1878 leaving the home to his wife, Louisa. August 1889, Louisa sold the home and property to George Congdon. Congdon died and his heirs sold to E.L. Lloyd. March 1918, E.L. Lloyd sold to R.J. Clifford. March 1920 Clifford sold the home and property to W.W. Taylor. November 1928, W.W. Taylor forecloses. The house and property was transferred to Paulding Fosdick and Harold Sands. April 27, 1931 Paulding Fosdick and Harold Sands sold the home and property to Harold and Julia Kaminski. American Federal Bed in rear guest room French Empire Chest, c.1810 Unique Fainting Sofa in rear guest room Tall Case Clock in Foyer, c.1750 Spooled Settees in Art Deco Guest Room A few facts about Harold and Julia Harold Kaminski was born on February 24, 1886 and died December 8, 1953 at age 67 after fighting sickness (tuberculosis) for many years. He was the only son of Heiman and Rose Kaminski. He was educated at the Winyah Indigo Society School until age 14, then Woodbury Forest Prep School, then Horace Mann in New York; later attending Yale University and Lehigh University. At age 31, he joined the U.S. Navy Reserve. Harold was the originator of the Georgetown Navel Reserve unit. Harold also served a term as Mayor of Georgetown. During the last years of his life in Georgetown, Harold wrote about Pearl Harbor and his memories of the attack. Painting of julia in Drawing Room Painting of Harold Kaminski in Library Julia Bossard Pyatt was born February 27, 1900 and died January 12, 1972. She was the daughter of John S. Pyatt and May Smith. Julia attended Winthrop College and then began training as a nurse. She left nursing school and married Harold. A product of old Southern aristocracy, Julia was said to have unusual charm and personality. She had a dog named Frank, a German Shepard, who was named after Franklin D. Roosevelt. Harold and Julia were married on December 13, 1925 by Reverend Bull at Prince George Winyah Episcopal Church. The marriage was a surprise for both their friends and family. There are beautiful sterling pieces from Tiffany on display in the formal dining room that were given to them as wedding presents. Among these pieces are complete sets of china displayed on the Regency banquet table with the Pyatt crest (Julia’s maiden name) in the center of each plate. Most of the furniture pieces in the Kaminiski home were given to Harold and Julia by his mother, Rose and Harold’s father Heiman, collected art pieces from up north which are seen throughout the Kaminski house today. After her husbands death, Julia continued to live in their home. She bequeathed her house, its contents, and the grounds to the City of Georgetown, as a historic museum in the memory of her husband and his mother, Rose Baum Kaminski.

Burroughs-Simeon B. Chapin Art Museum through December 28, 2014. Gallery hours are from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, 1- 4 p.m. Sundays, with free admission. Twiggs, who has had over 70 one-man exhibitions as well as international acclaim for his work, was the first visual artist to receive the prestigious Elizabeth O'Neill Verner Award for outstanding contributions to the arts in South Carolina. His batik technique, developed over a period of years beginning in the 1960s, involves applying wax to the surface of silk or cotton, dipping it in a cold-water dye solution multiple times, and then crushing the wax areas to create the characteristic crackle of batik in many layers of colors. He often uses the dye as paint instead of the customary method of dipping the fabric in the dye. The paintings of Hurricane Hugo Recalled incorporate sweeping line motifs, ghostly outlines of figures and recognizable symbols of the South Carolina Coast. Twiggs' works capture the spirit of the storm and the region it swept through as well as the ability of its citizens to bounce back after the devastation of the storm. Twiggs received his education at Claflin University (Orangeburg, South Carolina), where he studied under Arthur Rose, creator of the only art program then available to African Americans in the state. Twiggs continued his studies at the Art Institute of Chicago and earned his master's degree from New York University. Twiggs was later the first African American to receive a doctorate in Art Education from the University of Georgia. As Professor of Art at South Carolina State University (now Professor Emeritus), Twiggs developed the art department and the I.P. Stanback Museum. He also serves as Distinguished Artist in Residence at Claflin University. In addition to numerous exhibitions, Twiggs' work has been widely published in art textbooks and featured in television documentaries. This exhibit is generously sponsored by BlueCross BlueShield of SC. Admission to the Art Museum is free, but donations are welcome.

With figurative ceramics, she produces metaphoric manipulations of the human being. Farfan’s intent with this body of work is to cause viewers to consider the reality of our emotional defenses and how they change us, making us something other than purely human. Join the CCU New Jazz Ensemble under the direction of Chris Connolly and the CCU Student Jazz Combos for a night of classic jazz and selections from the American Songbook for Big Band and Jazz Combo. In addition to her passion for clay, there are also some major themes that she has sought to communicate with her art. These are: our human condition (how we cope with the overwhelming environment of dysfunctional societies); the human body itself (how our physiology is a projection of our inner state); and the efficient or inefficient way we connect with others and with ourselves (how we reveal our feelings, hopes, loves, and fears). The Rebecca Randall Bryan Gallery is free and open to the public. _____________________________________________________ DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC CCU World Music Concert Tuesday, Nov. 4, 7:30 p.m. • Wheelwright Auditorium The Coastal Carolina University World Music Ensemble will present an exciting evening of music from around the world.

Hair tells the story of the "tribe", a group of politically active, long-haired hippies of the "Age of Aquarius" living a bohemian life in New York City and fighting against conscription into the Vietnam War. Claude, his good friend Berger, their roommate Sheila and their friends struggle to balance their young lives, loves and the sexual revolution with their rebellion against the war and their conservative parents and society. Ultimately, Claude must decide whether to resist the draft as his friends have done, or to succumb to the pressures of his parents (and conservative America) to serve in Vietnam, compromising his pacifistic principles and risking his life.

Miles & Coltrane: Blue (.) captures the galvanizing energy of the 1950s, a time of rapid change in American society. During this era, jazz was the soundtrack to a new social revolution.

Miles & Coltrane Blue (.) is like going to church – almost.” – Duffy Lewis, Charleston City Paper “Every year at this time I discover a little gem or two…This year it was Miles & Coltrane Blue (.) by Concrete Generation.” – Retta Blaney, Life upon the Sacred Stage, NYC “On Q’s production of Miles & Coltrane Blue (.) was so well done, so well written, (and) so well cast. If all you know is their music, come see this show as you will get a good insight into the men behind the music, their connection, and how the music they produced reflected all that was going on within them and in society at the time.” – Boyd Jones, Campus Program Director, Winthrop University “Another great quality about the production is that while it is about jazz, the play itself is performed as a work of jazz.” KIMBEL LIBRARY Dust, Drought and Dreams Gone Dry Reaping the Whirlwind Eldred “Wink” Prince, Professor, Director of Waccamaw Center for Cultural & Historical Studies and Matthew McDonough, Lecturer, Department of History Wednesday, Nov. 12, 4 p.m. • Edwards Recital Hall As families from the Dust Bowl migrated to California and other areas, families in South Carolina faced their own challenges leading into the Great Depression.

Choosing the right Thanksgiving decorating ideas is not difficult if you know how to be a little creative. Fall decorating doesn't have to be expensive, either. Fruits, pumpkins, gourds, and greenery provide a nice variety of Thanksgiving Decoration materials. Here are four Thanksgiving decorating ideas that will work in any home. MINIATURE PUMPKINS AND GOURDS Miniature pumpkins and gourds look great lined up on a mantle, or down the center of a table. In addition, these small colorful elements can be placed anywhere in your home that you need an extra "pop" of fall color. Individuals that are artistic can paint pilgrims and Indians on their gourds. Those who prefer a contemporary look should seek out white miniature pumpkins, as these look spectacular in a sophisticated home. Create a votive holder by hollowing out the miniature pumpkin. Use the votive lights to set an ambient mood for your Thanksgiving dinner. FRESH FRUIT AND PUMPKINS Decorate your home with fresh fruit and pumpkins. This is an edible decorating idea that is also very colorful. Choose apples in red, green, and yellow and place them in a nice basket. Use it as a centerpiece along with ceramic pumpkins and color coordinated dinnerware on your dining table. Family and friends will rave about your beautiful, festive table. Set a bale of hay outside your front door. Place a large pumpkin on the bale of hay. Dried Indian corn laid next to the pumpkin gives an added flair of color to this Thanksgiving decorating idea. GREENERY AND LEAVES Drape greenery around your mirrors and paintings in your home. This is an added fall effect that is a great look for Thanksgiving. Use a flower press to make coasters using wax paper and colorful fall leaves. Instead of coasters, you can poke small needle sized holes in the wax paper/fall leaf item and hang them from your window. A basket full of fall leaves will look great in your home. After Thanksgiving is over, add the leaves to your compost pile. Hot glue greenery around the mouth of the basket for added color. SCARECROWS AND HAY Scarecrows and Hay are two fall decorating elements perfect for Thanksgiving decor. Dress your scarecrow as an Indian or a pilgrim to be more festive. A scarecrow looks great sitting on a bale of hay at the entrance to your home. Place a pumpkin next to the scarecrow for added effect. Hay is a great Thanksgiving decorating tool. However, be careful when you use hay in your home as some people have severe hay allergies. In addition, hay is very hard to clean up. Decorating your home for Thanksgiving should be a lot of fun. There are many inexpensive decorating materials to use. Page 26 • www.TheCoastalJournal.com • November 2014 Page 27 • www.TheCoastalJournal.com • November 2014
