Join the community of curious thinkers, history buffs, and life-long learners for a free presentation and conversation about the Lowcountry’s fascinating Reconstruction Era and Civil War history hosted by USC Beaufort’s Institute for the Study of the Reconstruction Era.
The presentation, entitled “The Reconstruction Era and Civil War in Beaufort” will be held at 6 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 17 at The Learning Center at 913 West Street in downtown Beaufort.
The interactive discussion will feature presentations by scholars, National Park Service historians and local “keepers” of the knowledge that shaped Beaufort’s past and present.
Learn about historic figures and personalities whose stories have never been told and about some of the work and programs the Institute for the Study of the Reconstruction Era, local organizations, and the National Reconstruction Era National Historical Park are doing to share and illuminate Beaufort’s rich history. Park Superintendent Scott Teodorski will provide updates to park operations, as well.
