The Charleston Museum Presentation: Curator of Archaeology, John Fisher, will speak about African American History, specifically in regards to the Heyward Washington House, one of the Museum's historic houses. He recently conducted new research and fieldwork there last spring. Founded in 1773, The Charleston Museum, America's First Museum, has been discovering, preserving, interpreting, celebrating, and sharing ever since. Their collections, exhibitions, educational programs, and events are designed to inspire curiosity and conversation - about the South Carolina Lowcountry - and the stories that make us who we are.
