SUMMARY:Revolutionary War Lecture Series - TEA AND TORTURE
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Lee Wilwerding \nThe Boston Tea Party wasn’t the first protest against British policies—and it wasn’t the only one. Cities like Charleston\, Philadelphia\, Annapolis\, and Edenton\, North Carolina\, all staged dramatic acts of resistance. Edenton’s may have been the smallest\, but it caused a stir in Britain because it was organized by women. This talk also looks at the brutal tactics used by the British on American rebels\, including the case of John Malcolm of Boston—the most famous victim of tarring and feathering\, but not the only one. \nPresented in partnership with the Beaufort County 250 Committee. \nLee Wilwerding is the former president of the World Affairs Council of Hilton Head Board of Directors. \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Liberty Tree Sapling Presentation to the City of Beaufort
DESCRIPTION:Beaufort\, SC — June 23\, 2025 — In a symbolic gesture of unity\, remembrance\, and patriotism\, the Charleston 250 Committee will present an historic Liberty Tree sapling to the Beaufort 250 Committee on Wednesday\, July 2\, 2025\, at 11:30 a.m. The presentation will take place at the historic Beaufort Arsenal\, located at 713 Craven Street in downtown Beaufort\, and marks a meaningful moment in the lead-up to the 250th anniversary of American independence. \nThe Liberty Tree sapling\, a direct descendant of the last known standing trees that once stood as powerful symbols of colonial resistance during the American Revolution\, will be officially handed off to Mayor Phil Cromer and the City of Beaufort during this commemorative event. The ceremony highlights the collaboration between communities across South Carolina as they prepare for the Sestercentennial—a nationwide celebration of 250 years of American history and heritage. \n“This sapling represents more than just a tree—it is a living connection to our shared past and the ideals that fueled our nation’s founding\,” said Rich Thomas from the Beaufort 250 Committee. “We are proud to pass it on to the City of Beaufort as a symbol of liberty and remembrance.” \nThe Beaufort 250 Committee has planned a series of educational and cultural events to mark the Sestercentennial\, and the planting of the Liberty Tree sapling\, which will occur at a later date\, will serve as a cornerstone for these celebrations. Review the calendar of related events at Beaufort250.com. \nThe public is invited to attend this event\, which will include remarks from local officials\, historical reflections\, and the ceremonial handoff of the sapling.

SUMMARY:Historic Site Tour at Old Sheldon Church with Tom Mikell
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin us for a tour and historic talk by Tom Mikell about this alluring place. \nFormally\, Prince William Parish Church was built by William Bull in 1753.
