Members and prospective members are invited to join the Beaufort Historical Association for the Annual Membership Meeting and potluck dinner, Tuesday, January 20, at 6 pm at St. Paul’s Church, 215 Ann Street.
This event will begin with the potluck dinner, after which the meeting will begin. Those bringing a dish should be aware there is no way to heat or chill food items brought to share, so food best served at room temperature is preferred.
This year’s meeting will feature special guest speaker, Town Manager Matt Zapp. It’s probable that most members do not know that Matt is a burial ground and headstone restoration specialist. He will share several new initiatives intended to improve the condition of Beaufort’s Old Burial Grounds so the site reflects the respect this cherished historic landmark deserves.
Awards will also be presented to our 2026 volunteers. Since 1986, the Beaufort Historical Association has recognized individuals whose dedication and contributions have helped make the BHA thrive and endure. The Association is fortunate to have hundreds of active and involved people who give of their time and talents.
