Center for the Arts coordinating tour of Hemrick House
Area antique fans and historians have a chance to experience Aiken’s history firsthand.
The Aiken Center for the Arts is coordinating a special tour of the Hemrick House, the residence of Hink Salley, a seventh-generation South Carolinian. The home tour includes a copy of the Antiques in the Heart of Aiken Commemorative Book.
Salley will be on hand during the tours to share stories about his family and to impart his knowledge of collecting antiques. His personal collection includes a wide variety of items, as much has been passed down from generation to generation and each collection reflects the unique interests of its original owner.
Salley began his fascination with family history more than 40 years ago and has many humorous family tales to share. As a well known pharmacist in Aiken, he served as the pharmacy director at Aiken Regional Medical Centers at the time the hospital made the transition to its current location.
Tours will be held on Sunday, May 31 at 2 p.m., 3:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. The cost of the tour is $60 per person and includes cookies and lemonade, as well as the Antiques in the Heart of Aiken book.
Reservations are required and may be made at the Aiken Center for the Arts by calling 641-9094.
