SEABROOK ISLAND NATIONAL HISTORY GROUP – MARCH 9, 2023 – MARK YOUR CALENDAR!

March 9, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Thursday, Mar 09
Johns Island
Join George W. McDaniel, retired Executive Director of Drayton Hall, for a fascinating evening as he discusses his groundbreaking new book, the first in the nation to focus on a site’s recent history.
Using interviews with descendants (both White and Black), board members, staff, donors, architects, historians, educators, preservationists, tourism leaders, and more,  each of the 50+ interviews combines with others to create an engaging picture of this one place, revealing never-before-shared family moments, major decisions in preservation and site stewardship, and pioneering efforts to transform a Southern plantation into a site for racial conciliation.
For Reservations:

The author is available for speaking engagements and workshops for organizations of all types, including museums and historic sites, civic groups, schools, and libraries.  While his much-acclaimed new book centers on a particular site, the approach is universal to any place.
