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).

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.

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 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.

Art Museum to Host
Hurricane Hugo
Exhibition
Historic Conway
Submitted by Patricia Goodwin
1st Thursday Night Concert • Downtown Conway
www.conwayalive.com • 843-248-6260
The Batiks of Leo Twiggs, will be on display at the
Franklin G. 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.

ART GALLERY EXHIBIT
DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC
Diana Farfan - Solo Exhibition
Through Nov. 24 • Rebecca Randall Bryan Art Gallery
New Jazz Ensemble
Wednesday, Nov 5, 7:30 p.m. • Wheelwright Auditorium
Diana Farfan’s pieces are a bridge that helps her understand her need to
communicate. 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.

Angie Fitzpatrick, Assistant Director,
Women’s and Gender Studies
Wednesday, Nov. 5, 4 p.m. • Edwards Recital Hall
In the 1930s, record-breaking droughts and dust storms wreaked havoc on
the southern plains, destroying farms and displacing families. While the Dust
Bowl has captivated American audiences for decades, women’s accounts of
these historic events have often been overlooked. This lecture will explore
the experiences of the women who survived the devastation of the Dust Bowl
and lived to tell the tale.
This event is free and open to the public. This exhibit is made possible by
the National Endowment for the Humanities: Exploring the Human Endeavor
Project and the American Library Association.

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 (.)
Written by Concrete Generation, and
presented by OnQ Performing Arts
Friday Nov. 7, 7:30 p.m. • Wheelwright Auditorium
The jazz is back! 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. Join award-winning actors,
musicians and poets who articulate this noteworthy shift in music history, taking you on a musical biography through the artists’ lives and the legacies they
left behind. This production is presented by OnQ Performing Arts, the first
African American company in residence at Blumenthal Performing Arts in
Charlotte, whose leader Quentin Talley won the Theatre Communications
Group and Andrew W. Mellon One-on-One award for “exceptionally talented
theatre professionals” in 2013. This performance contains Adult language
and content.
“OnQ’s production is a mesmerizing testament to the transcendence of
Davis’ and Coltrane’s music. 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.”

Ken Burns’ film The Dust Bowl: Reaping the Whirlwind. This event is free and

Living Well: What Does Pleasure and Happiness
Have to Do with it?
Thursday, Nov. 13, 3:30 p.m. • Edwards Recital Hall
Cliff Sosis from the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at CCU
will discuss reasons why one might resist or reject a reductionistic theory of
well-being. He will argue that the term “well-being” refers to a natural phenomenon and that the method we traditionally use to evaluate accounts of
well-being is of limited usefulness. As an alternative, he will defend a hedonistic conception of well-being, called “dynamic hedonism.”
Admission: free (no ticket required)
– Carlton Hargro, QCityMetro
_____________________________________________________
“ . . . an intriguing production which evoked the spirits of Miles and
Coltrane’s work while portraying then as wildly different characters. Miles
(is) the aloof scene-stealer, fiercely proud of his heritage, with Coltrane forever in search of his own inner salvation.”

Creative Decorating Ideas For
Thanksgiving and Fall
Thanksgiving and fall provide a backdrop of rich, luxurious colors to decorate
with. 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.
