As is often the case, I get acquainted with potential local history speakers due to the time that they spend in the BDC Research Room. Some folks come off and on over the course of many years. Such is the case with historian Nick Linville. He's worked for the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources' Heritage Preserves for a good number of years - and when he's worked on Beaufort County based properties, he's often done research with us. We're delighted to have the Hilton Head Chapter, Archaeological Society of South Carolina as co-sponsor for this session.
Nick Linville, M.A., from Linville Historical Consulting will share the captivating stories he has uncovered through his years of research into three cultural preserves in the area: South Bluff Heritage Preserve on Coosaw Island, Altamaha Towne in Okatee, and Green’s Shell Enclosure on Hilton Head Island. From Native American archaeological sites to historic colonial plantations, enslaved quarters, and freedman homesteads, this presentation explores the deep layers of the past that are right here in Beaufort County. We hope that at the conclusion of his talk, participants will have a greater awareness and appreciation of the "... History at Your Doorstep."
