This exhibit explores the Pee Dee not only as a cultural space but
as a diverse region of ecological and geological significance. From
Chesterfield to Georgetown the Pee Dee is bound together by its
common resource, the Great Pee Dee River. This water system
has shaped the identity of plantlife, wildlife and society since
before the first Europeans settled here over 300 years ago.
Featured in the exhibit are dinosaur fossils, Native American
artifacts, maps, and local art and crafts interwoven with information
which gives the viewer a glimpse of the many faces of Pee Dee
history. Also on display is a video which follows the growth and
decline of tobacco farming in Marion county, produced by ETV.
