Discover the beginnings of America’s fight for independence as we launch Liberty & Legacy, a three-part history series held on the last Sunday of January, February, and March.
Our opening program, Revolutionary War 101, offers an accessible look at the causes, key moments, and lasting impact of the American Revolution, with special focus on South Carolina’s decisive contributions.
Our presenter, Rick Wise, is the Executive Director of the South Carolina Battleground Preservation Trust and a recognized authority on Revolutionary War sites throughout the state. A U.S. Army veteran and trained military historian, he plays a leading role in The Liberty Trail project and regularly provides battlefield interpretation, public programs, and preservation guidance. Rick’s clear, engaging approach makes complex history easy to understand—and unforgettable.
Join us as we explore the stories and legacies that continue to shape our nation.
