Pack your lunch and join us at the Robert Mills House for a special tour of From Landrum to Leeds: Common Ceramics in 19th-Century Columbia. Afterwards, we will enjoy a picnic lunch in the gardens of the Hampton-Preston Mansion or in the Robert Mills Carriage House in the event of inclement weather.

Presented by Wooten & Wooten, Auctions of Fine Art, Antiques & Great Estates, From Landrum to Leeds explores the various dining, cooking and storage wares common in 19th-century Columbia, South Carolina by drawing from Historic Columbia's growing collection of locally made and imported ceramics. Highlights will include examples from the Landrum-Stork pottery, formerly located in what is today Forest Acres, and a variety of imported English ceramics, examples of which will be showcased in a new focus gallery and throughout the Robert Mills House.
