  • 🌍 Reconstruction Era National Historical Park (several historic sites in Beaufort County). The Beaufort area came under the control of the Union Army in November 1861. As a result, it was one of the first places in the United States where emancipated slaves voted, bought property and created churches, schools and businesses.

Do

In the region's coastal golf there are open greens, old oak trees, Spanish moss, wildlife, unspoiled saltwater marshes, and tidal creeks.
