Beaufort History Museum Internship
In an independent study with Elizabeth Peck, History major Aiden De La Torre wrote
curriculum guidelines for the Beaufort History Museum for K-12 teachers and their
students. The museum covers early Native American inhabitants through the colonial
period, the Civil War and Reconstruction, and into the modern era. His project highlighted
key historical themes such as the Gullah Geechee culture, the impact of the Civil
War, and Beaufort’s role in U.S. history.
Collaboration with the National Park Service
Watch USCB History major Clay Weeks explain his research project on the origins of Porter's Chapel, which is part of the Reconstruction Era National Historical Park in Beaufort.
