A golden exhibit
If you're coming to Columbia for a Gamecocks football game or the South Carolina State Fair, plan to visit the South Carolina State Museum to see the new exhibit Tutankhamun: Return of the King. You'll view more than 100 stunning replicas of the original treasures of King Tut, including jewelry, golden shrines and King Tut's funerary mask. The exhibit will be there until March, but don't delay.



Southern plantation
Cooler days are ahead and it will be a perfect time to stroll the grounds of one of South Carolina's historic plantations – Redcliffe Plantation in Beech Island. A barn and two slave cabins are on the property along with the mansion. Admission to the plantation is free, you only pay for a tour of the house museum, built between 1857-1859. Learn more about this Southern plantation.



Arts & crafts celebration
Where can you find distinctive arts and crafts, live music, seafood and barbecue by the beach? At the Atalaya Arts & Crafts Festival in Murrells Inlet! The festival is Sept. 27-29 at Huntington Beach State Park. Juried art will be displayed throughout and around Atalaya, the Moorish-style winter home of Archer and Anna Huntington. Create your own masterpiece at the festival's Chalk Under the Oaks.

Garden House B&B
Need a weekend getaway? Come relax at the Garden House Bed & Breakfast in Simpsonville. With three covered porches, a beautiful garden and a fireplace – it's a perfect retreat. Breakfast is served daily and complimentary hors d'oeuvres and dessert are offered. Stay with us, we'd love to make you feel at home.

Blooming Butterflies
Butterflies are blooming at Edventure Children's Museum. The Blooming Butterflies exhibit offers visitors the opportunity to see native butterflies and moths up close, at every stage of their life cycles. They'll only be around through Oct. 6, so plan a trip to Columbia soon, before they all fly away.
