Nowhere do Americans more intimately connect to sports than in their hometowns. Six South Carolina communities, in cooperation with The Humanities Council SC, will celebrate this connection as they host Hometown Teams: How Sports Shape America, a traveling exhibition from the Smithsonian’s Museum on Main Street (MoMS) program.
Hometown Teams will be on view through December 13, 2015 in South Carolina. Upcoming locations, in order, are Gaffney; Belton; Georgetown; Slater; and Manning. Each community has been expressly chosen by The Humanities Council SC to host Hometown Teams as part of the MoMS program, which is a unique national/state/local partnership that brings exhibitions and programs to rural cultural organizations.
Joining Dr. Edgar to talk about Hometown Teams are T. J. Wallace from the Humanities Council SC, Fritz Hamer from South Caroliniana Library, and Alison Darby from Belton Area Museum Association.
