History for the 2013-2014 School Year

As we prepare finalize our schedule for the upcoming school year remember to check events offered by our local library.  This fall the Beaufort County Library has a special treat for the public and those of us that need to include South Carolina history in our schedule this  year will benefit from the Civil War 150 Exhibit.  Please find the announcement from the library below and begin marking your calendar for  the events that will collaborate with this exhibit. 

Civil War 150 Exhibit

Beaufort County Library will host the Gilder Lehrman “Civil War 150” traveling exhibition during September 2013.   [1]
We are one of only fifty sites in the nation, one of only two sites in South Carolina, that will host this exhibition during the Civil War sesquicentennial period.
Drawn from the Gilder Lehrman Collection, the exhibition is divided into five panels tracing major events during the Civil War. The exhibition allows visitors to understand how soldiers, presidents, freedmen, and families grappled with the end of slavery, the nature of democracy and citizenship, the human toll of civil war, and the role of a president in wartime.
The library is offering free programs and other public events in connection with the exhibition under its “One County Reads the Civil War” series during September and October.
Developed by the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History in partnership with The Library of America the Civil War 150 exhibition was made possible through a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
