Course Title: (HIS201) HISTORY ON A STICK - HOW SC HISTORICAL MARKERS COME TO BE

Discover the "Life Cycle of the Historical Marker," from its inception as a simple idea to commemorate an event, place, or person of significance, through the research process, to state approval, marker fabrication, installation, dedication, and maintenance. Learn how to enjoy the markers all over our county by creating your own marker scavenger hunt, using our geographical lists accompanied by Google Maps with marker locations. Gain a clear understanding of the process the Beaufort County Historical Society uses as the oldest of many groups that sponsor these markers countywide.
