Historically Speaking: The Battle of Beaufort, 1779

Join us at the Hilton Head Branch Library for a special history presentation with Col. Neil Baxley on the Beaufort District’s place in the American Revolution.  The BCL’s Beaufort District Collection, in conjunction with the Beaufort County Historical Society present the Historically Speaking Series: “Battle of Beaufort, 1779.” Through the British Winter Campaign, 1778-1779 in the Palmetto State had mostly gone in Britain’s favor, South Carolina’s first land-based engagement between professional British , militia, and Continental forces changed that – and it was here in Beaufort County! All are welcome, and no registration is required.  Contact the reference desk at 843-255-6525 for more information.
