Meet Popcorn, our fabulous corn snake! 🌽 All our snakes at the Coastal Discovery Museum have corny names like Maizey, Cornelia, and Colonel Kobb.  Did you know that the corn snake, also known as the red rat snake, is not venomous? 🐍🌽 Our summer interns are doing their part to educate visitors about reptiles at our outdoor Critter Meet and Greet program. Drop in on Mon, Wed and Fri, between 9:30 am - 12:30 pm. $7 per person/ages 4 and up. Corn snakes in the Lowcountry are some of the prettiest and brightest, showcasing a stunning mix of red, orange and brown.  They can also have duller, grey tones that resemble a copperhead. While snakes might not be everyone's favorite, both copperheads and corn snakes are essential to our ecosystems.  They help control rodent and other small mammal populations and are vital food sources for larger mammals, birds, and even other snakes. Remember, a balanced ecosystem needs snakes, too! 🌿🌞🐍 #CoastalDiscoveryMuseum #HoneyHorn #HHI #LowcountryWildlife #CritterMeetAndGreet #WildlifeConservation #HiltonHeadIsland

Join us at the Coastal Discovery Museum in helping to honor Juneteenth and celebrate the emancipation of the last enslaved African Americans on June 19, 1865. That's when Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, bringing news to enslaved people that they were free — and had been for two and a half years. To celebrate this federal holiday on Hilton Head, you can visit Historic Mitchelville Freedom Park, the site of the first free, Black town in the South, and learn how Mitchelville citizens led the way for newly freed people in the US. The recently erected ghost structures (pictured here) honor and tell the story of the formerly enslaved people who lived there. You can also explore the Historic Penn Center on St. Helena Island, home to the first school in the South for formerly enslaved African Americans, and where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote the first draft of his "I Have a Dream" speech. And take a virtual or in-person journey through the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture, in Washington, DC, and explore the exhibits, stories and resources highlighting African American history and the significance of Juneteenth. #Juneteenth24 #CoastalDiscoveryMuseum #MitchelvilleFreedomPark #PennCenter #SmithsonianNMAAHC #AfricanAmericanHistory #Emancipation #CelebrateFreedom #gullahgeecheehistory #HHI #HiltonHeadIsland
