Beaufort Historical Association Committees
If you’re looking for more ways to get involved, join one of our many wonderful committees!
There are many ways to participate at the BHA. Being involved in a committee is a consistent commitment if you’re looking to add an activity to your volunteer calendar. We could always use more help for events and maintaining the grounds. Volunteers and committees truly are the backbone of this organization. Thank you for participation and building us up!

Event Committees
The following special events require hard working committees to oversee the planning and see the specific event through from start to finish. Committees for the Valentine/Membership Drive, Old Homes Tour, Summer Party, Fall Party, and Christmas Candlelight Tour all have the same basis purpose: to achieve a successful event. Each individual committee assists in planning their relative event as well as obtaining sponsors, auction items and donors for the event. The Committees also participate with ticketing and support attendance the days of the events.

Those on the Old Burying Ground Committee coordinate staffing for the OBG for tours and assist in training new tour guides. They are to regularly review the material used in tours for factualness and consistency.
