Georgetown Library ready to kick-off its Glorious Cause revolutionary history series in March
February 20, 2026
The Georgetown County Libraries are pleased to announce a series of upcoming public educational programs, “A Glorious Cause: South Carolina and the American Revolution.” The programs, which are free and open to the public, will take place at all five libraries across Georgetown County from March through June. The project is made possible by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services administered by the South Carolina State Library.
“A Glorious Cause” programs will explain not only significant historical figures and events of the American Revolution—including those with local ties like Francis Marion, Thomas Lynch, and the Marquis de Lafayette—but also the rich intellectual and social life of the era, including the literature, art, music, dance, and cuisine that defined the spirit of the new nation.
The March presentations at the Georgetown Library are on the following Wednesdays at 10:00 am
- Wednesday, March 11: Tim Lowry, Award-winning Storyteller, “Food, Fashion, & Frivolity: Inside a Revolutionary Parlor”
- Thursday, March 12: Zachary Lemhouse, Historian/Violinist, “Songs of the American Revolution: A Historical Presentation & Performance”
- Wednesday, March 18: Dr. Sara A. Rich, Maritime Archaeologist/Rhode Island School of Design, “A Revolutionary War Shipwreck in the Cooper River” (in partnership with the South Carolina Maritime Museum)
- Wednesday, March 25: Christopher Judge, Native American Studies Center/USC Lancaster, “Native Life in Revolutionary South Carolina”
In addition, during April and May, the Library will host a special exhibit “Resilience & Revolution: Native Peoples in 18th Century South Carolina.”
