Reception to Celebrate Opening of Permanent Dry Goods Exhibit Saturday, July 11, 2009 The Elloree Heritage Museum & Cultural Center will hold a reception to celebrate the opening of the new Dry Goods Store permanent exhibit on Saturday, July 11, at 7:00 p.m. The new exhibit is part of the Main Street diorama and details the contribution of Elloree’s Jewish residents through the years. The museum’s Exhibits Committee, lead by chairwoman Pat McLaurin, created the new exhibit with consultation by Bobby Blackwell of the South Carolina State Museum. Exhibits Committee members include Becky Ulmer, Milt Felder, Gene Bailey and Celia Ulmer. Elloree has a rich history of Jewish families and business people, many of whom owned and operated Dry Goods stores. Isaac Berger, Wolfe and Rebekah (Fannie) Rubenstein, Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Levine, Leon Galloway and Joseph J. Miller all owned Dry Goods stores over the years. Mr. Miller’s namesake charitable trust continues to help organizations throughout the area, recognizing the work of the Elloree Heritage Museum with grants since 1999. The 2007 grant funds received from the Joseph J. Miller Foundation were specifically given for the initial phase of this new exhibit. The permanent Dry Goods Store exhibit will serve as a testament to the contribution of these, and other Jewish families, to the town of Elloree. The reception is open to the public and attendees will include family members and descendants of the honored Elloree families. For more information, please contact the Elloree Heritage Museum at (803) 897-2225.
