2008 Living History at the Beaufort Historic Site

The Beaufort Historical Association announces its 2008 Spring and Summer Living History Schedule. These workshops and demonstrations, held as part of the ongoing educational mission of the BHA, feature a variety of colonial and Victorian skills and crafts, and some include hands-on participation for the audience.

The Beaufort Historical Association is a private, non-profit organization with a mission to preserve the heritage of Beaufort and Carteret County and to educate current and future generations of this heritage. The organization also runs the Beaufort Historic Site, a 2-acre area in the heart of Beaufort's historic district. Most Living History Programs, which are free unless a materials fee is noted, will be held in the Welcome Center of the Historic Site at 130 Turner Street.

Because all programs are subject to change, please verify the dates and times with the Beaufort Historic Site before you attend any programs at (800) 575-7483 or (252) 728-5225. Look for more information on each event as the date approaches.
