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. It served as the muster point for the Beaufort District Militia under General Stephen Bull\, and was burned by Bull’s Tory neighbor Andrew DeVeaux in 1779. An inside crypt is the burial place of Col William Bull\, a co-founder of Georgia with Oglethorpe\, and it was reportedly used as a hiding place for 8\,000 pounds of gunpowder confiscated from the HMS Philppa off Daufuskie Island\, over half of which was later sent to General George Washington to aid in the Siege of Boston in the winter of 1775 . \nRegister for your free tickets here.
