Here’s a statue that can be found in a historic South Carolina location. Send your best guess of what it is as well as something about it. Send your best guess to editor@charlestoncurrents.com. And don’t forget to include your name and the town in which you live.
Our most recent mystery, “Some kind of construction going on,” stumped several readers. It showed the skeleton of the new International African American Museum along the banks of the Cooper River. The multi-million dollar museum is expected to open in 2022. More info.
Congratulations to this week’s sleuths who correctly identified the museum’s construction: Jim McMahan of Charleston’ Chris Brooks of Mount Pleasant; George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; and Nicholas Carter of Goose Creek.
Graf shared that “right behind the museum is Gadsdenboro Park, Gadsden Street and The Gadsden Hotel all named after Christopher Gadsden who built and owned the wharf where over 100,000 slaves were brought into the South.”
- Send us a mystery: If you have a photo that you believe will stump readers, send it along (but make sure to tell us what it is because it may stump us too!) Send it along to editor@charlestoncurrents.com.
