The Beaufort History Museum invites you to a Fish Camp Celebration at City Hall on Thursday, December 13! Janet Garrity’s new book, Goin’ Down the River has sparked an interest in a low country lifestyle that is almost as old as Beaufort. This interest can be seen up close and personal (and realistically closer than you’ll get to a real “smelling the pluff mud” fish camp) at a new exhibition that opens Thursday, December 13, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Beaufort History Museum at City Hall.
