"Historically Speaking" Lecture Series Continues November 21, 2019

The second lecture in the new Beaufort County Historical Society / BDC's "Historically Speaking" series features the recently (twice) retired Executive Director of the Historic Beaufort Foundation, Maxine Lutz. To say that Beaufort's historic houses have been occupied by some interesting personalities through time is putting it all quite mildly. Her challenge has most likely been winnowing out the crowd to just a few key individuals. Though she could probably talk for days, we give her only about an hour to cover her topic.

There are no reserved seats and no getting past our Librarian's motto: "Be equally mean to everybody." Therefore, it is important to note that this is a free, first come, first seated local history program. We will open the Beaufort Branch Meeting Room doors promptly at 11:30AM to seat folks who want to attend what is sure to be an informative and entertaining presentation. The BCHS and BDC do so hope to see you at "'Not Just Gossip:' Who Dwelt in Beaufort's Historic Houses?" with Maxine Lutz | Thursday, November 21, 2019 | 2 pm | Beaufort Branch Meeting Room!

Heads up: All units of the Beaufort County Library will close at 5 pm on Wednesday, November 27, 2019 and will remain closed on Thursday, November 28 and Friday, November 29. Regular hours will resume on Saturday, November 30th.

 In the case of the BDC Research Room, we will close at 5 pm on Wednesday, November 27th and will re-open for business on Monday, December 2nd at 9 AM.
