Sorry, folks, but I can't think of a direct and entertaining "archival" connection between the houses on the tour and "Archives Month" other than to say the Beaufort District Collection has vertical files on both the Verdier House and family as well as a Beaufort County Historical Society Paper about First Presbyterian Church and a vertical file about it under the heading "Churches--First Presbyterian Church."
