Along the banks of the Savannah River, Native Americans, some 4500 years ago, discovered that fire could harden clay to a stone-like consistency. These unknown people mixed Spanish moss or palmetto fibers with the clay to make the earliest known pottery vessels in North America. Pottery manufacturing in Edgefield grew to a height around 1850 when there were at least 5 potteries producing over 100,000 gallons of pottery. The heart of the Edgefield stoneware tradition involved the use of alkaline glaze, believed to have been derived from information passed to the Western world by the French Jusuit priests living in the Orient in the early 18th century describing Chinese methods for making porcelain. $2 admission fee. Located at 230 Simkins Street, Edgefield SC 29824. Phone: 803-637-2060.
