Clemson to host Holiday Party at Hanover House

The Department of Historic Properties at Clemson University will host a free holiday open house at the 301-year-old Hanover House from 1-4pm on Saturday, Dec. 2. The Clemson University Media Relations Departments reports that Foothills Garden Club members will decorate the house with fresh greenery from the South Carolina Botanical Garden on campus, where the house is located. During this celebration, the Joyful Harps musical group will perform colonial and other traditional music and play the home’s 200-year-old Kirkman piano while guests have refreshments. The event will also commemorate the wedding supper of William Moultrie that took place at Hanover House in December 1749. Visitors also can tour the house and learn more about its place in South Carolina and Clemson University history. For more information, visit www.clemson.edu.
