From Plume Street to the Polls: The Women’s Suffrage Movement in South Carolina–What do a small-town doctor’s wife, a Connecticut-born governor’s wife, an upper-class but down on her luck Charleston stenographer, and the first woman licensed to sell real estate in South Carolina have in common? They fought tirelessly to gain women’s right to vote in the Palmetto State. As we approach the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage, learn more about the South Carolina women who led that struggle.

This lecture presents in narration and interpretation an introduction to the Gullah language. The presentation, partially in storytelling form, is spoken in the Gullah language with the English translations.

When they first came they were the enemy - Union soldiers burning, plundering, pillaging, emancipating and fighting on Southern soil. With the end of the Civil War they became residents, businessmen, husbands, fathers, civil servants, and community leaders. In this presentation Historian Elizabeth Laney talks about the Union veterans who were brought to Walterboro in war but settled in peace to become backbones of the local community. A large focus will be on the town's largely forgotten black union soldiers, members of the 35th US Colored Troops.

Take a stroll with local historian Elizabeth Laney. The cemetery tour will be centered around the Colored Section of Live Oak Cemetery featuring some of Walterboro's most prominent 19th century African-American families, including two of Walterboro's forgotten black Union soldiers. 

Please call ahead and register 843.549.2303. This event is free and open to the public.

We have asked our customers and good friends to help put together once again, FEEDING the Community and giving away gifts, clothes, coats for those in need. 

February 1, 1865 – 154 years ago – the northern army was enroute from Savannah, Georgia, to Columbia, South Carolina, and the battles at Broxton Bridge and Rivers Bridge on the Salkehatchie River were the last big defensive effort for the Confederates before the battle at Columbia. Join us as we again reenact this battle on both March 2nd and 3rd, 2019. Living History day is Friday the 1st. There will be vendors with available food and wares, and the HL Hunley Exhibit will be featured again. Hosts for this event are Battery C, 32nd Georgia Artillery and 2nd Georgia Regiment Co.
