We’re excited to share our Discovery Series talk with the Middleton Place Foundation on March 20!
This Discovery Series event features Jeff Sherard from Brockington and Associates. We will hear a discussion on the Inland Lowcountry indigenous experience along Charleston’s western frontier. Read more about Jeff Sherard below.
Participants will learn about artifacts related to the Carolina Colony’s initial founding and how they help to describe the Indigenous experience during the colonization and its connections to the Inland Lowcountry. We will also talk about the structure of the developing plantation systems and how native groups were involved.
