  • Seadogs Legacy Celebration!

    To commemorate the opening of the newly restored and repurposed Mulberry Site Condominium Homes and the Mainsail Event Center, the Beaufort Historical Association is hosting a reception celebration for the community on Saturday, June 27 from 5:00pm - 7:00pm in The Mainsail (old gym). This special heritage event will honor town residents who were students at the former campus or taught and administrated there. We will celebrate the old high school era Seadogs spirit that cheered on their basketball team through 91 straight wins in the 1950s and 1960s, whose record still stands as the “winningest” boys basketball team in North Carolina history! No ticket required. All curious to see the renovated gym complete with Seadogs memorabilia, decor and legacy trophies from bygone days are invited to attend the reception.

  • An Artist at Work: Gary Bradley at the Beaufort Historic Site

    We are excited to welcome newly juried artist Gary Bradley to the Beaufort Historic Site this Saturday, August 29, from 10:00am until 1:00pm!   Gary will be joining us on the grounds to paint and create a brand new work of art inspired by his time here in historic Beaufort. Gary’s artwork has already been a hit, as he recently sold two pieces at our Mattie King Davis Art Gallery and is returning to replenish the gallery with even more beautiful work.   But there’s an extra special treat! Gary will be painting on-site and then giving the finished painting away through a drawing to one lucky registered participant!   Come by the Beaufort Historic Site on Saturday, from 10:00am until 1:00pm, and watch an artist at work, and enjoy the chance to take home an original piece of art created right here at the Historic Site! Thanks Gary!
