Please join us as Beaufort native, Gloria Singleton, shares her collection of oral histories given by 50 intriguing Beaufortonians who explain why people flock to this coastal paradise inhabited by friendly folks, adorned with beautiful architecture, flanked by moss-draped oak trees.

Copies of her book, Beaufort Through the Ages, are available through our Local History sections as well as from booksellers locally and on the web. Bring your copy and she will personalize it for you!
