Eliza Lucas Pinckney and The Indigo Girl

Has your book club read The Indigo Girl? The program “Eliza Lucas Pinckney and The Indigo Girl” includes a presentation about the process of growing and harvesting indigo grown right here at the South Carolina Historical Society Museum and an analysis of fiction and nonfiction information in The Indigo Girl. Afterwards, participants dye their own dishtowel in a natural indigo vat!
