News Release
University of South Carolina Lancaster
After a year of being closed to the public and almost five months of being open on a limited basis by appointment only, University of South Carolina Lancaster’s Native American Studies Center will reopen its doors to visitors on a normal operating schedule on Tuesday, August 24.
The Center will be open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 10 a.m.- 5 p.m., and on Thursdays from 10 a.m.- 7 p.m. The Center is open by appointment only on Mondays and closed on Sundays.
Per university policy, masks or face coverings are required for entry. Guests are encouraged to make use of the hand sanitizing stations located at the building entrances and to maintain a distance of 6-feet between their party and others. Guests are also encouraged to stay home if feeling unwell.
In order to maintain social distancing and safety protocols, advance reservations are required for large tour groups; tour groups may call the Center at (803) 313-7172 to schedule an appointment time to visit. Walk-in groups without appointments will be limited to 10 people.
As school policies around our region vary regarding field trips, educators are encouraged to check back with the Center in the coming months to determine availability for field trips.
The Center continues to work on arranging both in-person and online exhibits, and looks forward adding back in-person events to its virtual programming line-up later this fall.
Follow the Center on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn for the latest news or updates to programs and events. For more information, call the Native American Studies Center at (803) 313-7172 or send an email to usclnasp@mailbox.sc.edu.
