Heralded as the “most serious conflagration that ever visited the Old Town,” the Great Fire of 1907 caused the destruction of more than 40 structures downtown and on The Point and set Beaufort back on its heels. The Beaufort County Historical Society (BCHS), along with the City of Beaufort, will commemorate this historic inferno with a new marker at 11 a.m. on Thursday, April 21 at the corner of Bay and Carteret streets in Elliott Park. BCHS President Larry Rowland will offer brief remarks. Bring lawn chairs if desired. Submitted photo.
