Morris Center

Explore regional musical traditions in Soul of the South.

Morris Center for Lowcountry Heritage takes visitors on a musical journey in Soul of the South, highlighting the influences that Native Americans, enslaved Africans, and the European colonizers in the Lowcountry had on various genres of music: gospel, jazz, blues, musical theater and rock and roll. The exhibit also showcases local musicians and groups whose notoriety reached beyond the Lowcountry.

The exhibition features informative panels about the musical history of the lowcountry, The BEAT multimedia experience, and cross-curricular lesson plans and pre- and post-visit activities for K12 students. The exhibition is sponsored by Gretsch, Coastline Construction Services LLC, TICO Tractors, The Donald Company Realtors, and the Town of Ridgeland.
