Technical College of the Lowcountry

There’s just something special about this school.  First, the school overlooks the beautiful Beaufort River and the scenery is so calming.

Then we come to the most interesting part of the walk.  This school teaches whether it is opened or closed.

In 2017 the school engaged local artists to paint a community mural of the true stories of the history of Beaufort County. Highlighting different eras and famous folks it is really a unique piece of  art to learn from.

I will highlight the best I can what some of the parts represent.

Beaufort South Carolina is located 1/2 way between Savannah Georgia and Charleston South Carolina.  The small seaside city has an abundance of history, and beautiful architecture.

There are also so great restaurants that feature local seafood, and a southern favorite “key lime pie”
