Thompson, "Architecture & Slavery" Tomorrow

We are pleased to have Evan Thompson, Executive Director of Historic Beaufort Foundation, present our 2nd program of the Archaeology Month series. Thompson's talk is “Architecture & Slavery: Sites & Stories from Beaufort in the Mid-19th Century.” He will highlight the African American contribution to the built environment within the National Historic Landmark District and beyond. As Maxine Lutz has pointed out:
"His research always illuminates little-known facts about and connections between the people and places associated with Beaufort’s history."

Join us Thursday, Oct. 8th to experience his presentation. Please note: This session is being held in the Beaufort County Council Chambers, 100 Ribaut Road, 6 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.

This year our Archaeology Month series is co-sponsored by Beaufort County Library, Beaufort County Planning, Historic Beaufort Foundation, and USC-Beaufort.
