"Our Duty was Quite Arduous": The Union Encampment on Little Folly Island
Event Details
Continuing its commemoration of the Sesquicentennial of the Civil War, the Charleston Museum presents "Our Duty was Quite Arduous": The Union Encampment on Little Folly Island, 1863- 1865.
This original exhibition presents Civil War artifacts recovered by Charleston Museum archaeologists from the beach of "Little Folly Island." Accelerated erosion caused by Hurricane Hugo in September 1989 uncovered a wealth of materials from the Federal presence there during the Civil War.
Most were remarkably preserved and now provide a rare glimpse into the daily lives of Union soldiers garrisoned on Folly Island.
