Book Signing for Up Here: The Hunting Island Lighthouse and its Lightkeepers
2024-06-08 15:00 - 17:00 | Pat Conroy Literary Center
The Friends of Hunting Island, in partnership with the nonprofit Pat Conroy Literary Center, will host a drop-in book signing for the newly published coffee table book, Up Here: The Hunting Island Lighthouse and its Lightkeepers, with authors Theodore Panayotoff and Linda Miller on Saturday, June 8th, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the Conroy Center (601 Bladen St., Beaufort).
Attendance is free and open to the public; copies of the book will be available for sale and signing. Book purchases benefit the Friends of Hunting Island and support the organization’s work at Hunting Island, to include the current restoration of the 1875 Fresnel Lens.
About Up HereUp Here, The Hunting Island Lighthouse and its Lightkeepers tells the story in full detail for the first time with breathtaking photographs, historical context, 19th century design/architecture and never-before-published drawings from the Library of Congress
“At sunset on July 1, 1859, the Hunting Island Lighthouse emitted its first beacon of light to mariners, protecting them from the perils of sandbars and treacherous currents near the coast. The lighthouse, fitted with its giant-sized lens was so efficient that every 30 seconds the focused light from the simple oil lantern cast a beam 17 miles into the darkness.”
Since the Hunting Island Lighthouse sent out its first beam of light into the dark night in 1859, it has witnessed the making of history. Inside the pages of Up Here for the first time, author and lighthouse historian Ted Panayotoff and Friends of Hunting Island president, Linda Miller, provide in detail the creation, history and current state of this much-loved southern icon. You’ll learn about its lightkeepers and how they lived, surviving all manner of adventures, storms and hurricanes. With its dramatic black and white coloring and moveable design, the lighthouse has witnessed the Atlantic waves caress the shores and storms unleash their fury. Amid this chaos, the Hunting Island Lighthouse remains resolute, a symbol of enduring hope and guidance.
With a foreword by noted New York Times bestseller, Cassandra King, Up Here not only showcases the photographic talent of the area’s finest photographers, it underscores the importance of conservation and is a fundraising book for the Friends of Hunting Island and the causes they support including turtle conservation.
Up Here is the new companion book to the award-winning Wild Island Nature about Hunting Island State Park, published by Lydia Inglett Publishing/Starbooks.

3rd Annual Black Moses Freedom Festival
2024-06-07 16:00 - 2024-06-09 16:00 | 711 Bladen St, Beaufort, SC 29902-4900, United States
We are the Black Moses Freedom Festival celebrating Heritage, Health, and Wellness. We would like to invite you into the heart of this journey with an explanation of the festival and the goals and ideas associated with it. The Black Moses Freedom Festival was created with the idea of celebrating the Spirit, Ingenuity, and Liberation of African Americans and people of color around the globe. Keeping in the spirit of Harriet Tubman alive as “Moses” of the south right here in Beaufort were she accomplished a huge victory. We are held up by the Pillars that we feel were the important aspects and underlying energy of the missions of her legacy.
The 5 Pillars That Honor The Legacy of Harriet Tubman & Goals of BMFF:
God First: Harriet believed in a Higher Power that guided her through the most dangerous situations, freeing hundreds of slaves and never being caught. Being a woman of small stature and living well into her 90’s, we must believe that she had supernatural help guiding and protecting her. She was a believer, and allowed GOD to lead her to freedom.
Land and Connection to nature: Harriet knew the land, the plants for survival, the stars for guidance, and the animals to be aware of. She did not just survive the humans and dogs chasing her down, she also survived the wilderness with women, children, and elders in tow. She was a natural woman and an herbalist who healed soldiers who were dying of dysentery in Beaufort, SC with herbs she found at the river.
Family: Harriet began freeing people by first, attempting to free her family. All the others she freed were a byproduct of her wanting to share her freedom with her family. She was the ultimate Matriarch, although she never gave birth, she freed her mother, her father, and her brothers and cousins.
Liberation: Harriet realized that liberation should be for everyone, and although she started her journeys to free her family, she began to see the bigger picture and sought freedom for all enslaved people. She was a warrior for Liberation.
Community Service: Harriet served as a Nurse, a Spy for the Union, a General leading raids to free the enslaved, and until her old age she had a home for the sick and displaced. She was an icon in Community Service.
Our goals for the future include a parade, building a gazebo at Combahee River for the community, updating the marker to reflect the historical facts of Harriet’s contributions to that mission, and creating a private trade school for K-8 based on the 5 Pillars of Harriet Tubman.
The Black Moses Freedom Festival will provide opportunities for our community to explore, learn, and exercise new paradigms of what liberation means through themes of economic empowerment, agricultural equality, art, wellness imperatives, culture, and community.
