One of our very most favorite archaeologists, Dr. Eric Poplin of Brockington and Associates, returns on Wed., November 15, 2017. This time his topic is the archaeology done in advance of the new bridge linking Beaufort and Colleton Counties at the Combahee River. He was the lead archaeologist investigating the uses of the area by Native Americans, colonial settlers, and by both Confederates and Federals during the Civil War. The bridge was named the "Harriet Tubman" bridge in honor of a daring raid up the river that freed an estimated 700 - 800 enslaved people in 1863.
We will have 85 seats available on a first come; first seated basis in
the Beaufort Branch Meeting Room, 1st floor, 311 Scott Street. We hope
that you'll be able to join us.
