Located on Port Royal Island, one of the South Carolina
Sea Islands, Beaufort was one of the wealthiest towns in
the United States before the Civil War. In 1860 the
first draft of the Ordinance of Secession of South
Carolina from the Union was drawn up in a Beaufort House
on Craven Street. Shortly following, in 1861, Beaufort
was invaded by and occupied by the largest invasion in
U.S. Navy history up until Normandy. Occupation by the
Union Army spared Beaufort the burning and destruction
suffered by many Southern towns and the entire 304 acre
original town is now designated a National Historic
Landmark District.
Recently, Beaufort has been the setting for many major
motion pictures, the Big Chill, The Great Santini,
Prince of Tides, and Forest Gump to name a few. With a
normal tidal variation of 8 feet, one of the largest on
the Atlantic coast, Beaufort is surrounded by
picturesque and ever changing salt marshes.
Down the road is Savannah, Georgia, with its historic
squares and period architecture. A favorite tourist
destination, Savannah offers art, boutiques, beaches,
and some of the best dining in the South.
After the Ball we will head to Charleston for further
immersion in history, charm, and fine cuisine.
