Gullah Traveling Theater, Inc. (GTTI) proudly presents Da’ Gullah American Revolutionary Experience, an electrifying new theatrical production. Join us for this FREE preview in Beaufort at the USCB Center for the Performing Arts. Sponsored by the Beaufort County Historical Society in partnership with the Beaufort County 250 Revolutionary War Committee. This is a sneak preview of the full work to be performed on July 19 at the May River Theater.

Commissioned and funded by the South Carolina 250th American Revolutionary Sestercentennial Commission, this groundbreaking play illuminates the untold stories of the Gullah people and their vital yet often overlooked contributions to the American Revolution (1770-1783).

The Friends of Fort Fremont (FFF) is collaborating with the the U.S. Military Academy (West Point) Digital History Center (DHC) to develop a digital simulation of Homeland Coastal Defense at Fort Fremont at the turn of the 20th century. In the coming months, three cadet researchers will conduct an on-site survey and digital mapping, primary and secondary source research, product design, and development of the video simulations. The end product will consist of a digital publication of Fort Fremont including two videos depicting historical animation of the construction and operation of Fort Fremont during the Spanish-American War ((1898-1900)

West Point has produced similar videos depicting historical events. An example of the landing of the Battle of Brooklyn, 1776, may be seen on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v38k49I51NwY 

West Point’s on-site survey is scheduled for July 31 through August 5, 2025.  On Sunday ,August 3, at 3pm, the cadets will participate in a panel discussion of their findings.  Dr. James Shinn. Assistant Professor of History, USCB, will serve as the moderator.  

The event is co-sponsored by the Beaufort County Historical Society and will be open to the public, free of charge.
