Update: Session #1 sold out so quickly that Session #2 has been added. Details are on the HBF website www.historicbeaufort.org.
Some say that A Sea Island Lady is the best book ever written about Beaufort's past. At least the parts about the effect of the Great Sea Island Hurricane and phosphate mining bear obvious signs of diligent historical research. However, A Sea Island Lady is one of those books one either loves or hates. Many local residents and visitors fall into the "Love" category. To capitalize on all that love, Historic Beaufort Foundation is hosting several fund-raising events in September to celebrate the book and its author, Francis Griswold, an HBF benefactor.
The original session set for 25 September - Dinner & A Lecture "Reading Nineteenth-Century Beaufort in Francis Griswold's A Sea Island Lady" with Dr. Mollie Barnes $ sold out so quickly that a second session has been added. Tickets are expected to go quickly for Session #2 - which actually so don't delay! Details are on the HBF website www.historicbeaufort.org.
30 September - A Sea Island Lady Walking Tour $
Exhibit about author Francis Griswold in the Verdier House $
