Beaufort County’s daily bulletin said a guided birding walk at Fort Frederick will take place this morning from 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m., led by Destiny Raines, identified in the bulletin as a Beaufort County naturalist. The program begins at 601 Old Fort Road in Port Royal and is free to the public with no registration required.
The bulletin provided historical context for Fort Frederick, saying the six-acre property is owned by the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Beaufort County and describing it in the transcript as "the oldest surviving tabby fort in South Carolina and the oldest known tabby structure in Beaufort County," built between 1733 and 1735. The bulletin also referenced a historical moment mentioned in the transcript tied to an 1863 reading of the Emancipation Proclamation at the site.
Visitors are reminded that the property is open daily from dawn to dusk and that county nature programs are free; the bulletin directed listeners to the county events page for more information.
