A $35,000 renovation project
has transformed historic Beau
fort Arsenal in Beaufort, S. €.,
from a 174-year-old relic to an
attractive reminder of the Pal
metto State’s past. In 1966, the
Arsenal received its first ma
jor renovation in 30 years, and to
day--repaired, stuccoed and
painted--stands as a handsome

low-country of
ed by rorces from the United
States gunboat Seneca of the Union
Forces in 1861, just after the cap
ture of Fort Walke.
The Union Forces entered the
Arsenal and stole the two brass
trophy guns captured from the
British in 1779. The guns were
returned after 1880 and are now
on display in the courtyard. The
main building of the Arsenal
housed the militiawhile the wings
were enclosed in 1930 for the
Beaufort Museum, now on the se
cond floor of the Arsenal.
The new wrought iron gates
which open onto the courtyard
were placed at the remodeled Ar
senal in 1966. The original
eighteenth century wooden gates
are presently on display in the
courtyard.
The Museum contains some ex
tremely rkre items that pertain
;o the history of the area, as
well as artifacts that tell the
history of Beaufort from the ear
liest days. The Museum building
is constructed of picturesque
Spanish architecture with gothic
windows. It was formed in 1939
by the Beaufort HistoricalSocie-
ty. Some pieces in the Museum
are over 300 years old.

Items in the Museum include

The Arsenal and Museum are
open to the public from 1-5 p.m.
Monday through Friday, from P9
i.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday and
’rom 2-5 p.m. on Sunday.
Mingled with the atmosphere
of wispy streams of Spanish moss
and the colorful language of the
people of the low-country, the old
Arsenal was once forgotten by
our modern-day society. Walls
aged by centuries were cracked
by tree roots. Decaying window
sashes and rotting floor joists
told the story of a segment of
Beaufort’s historic past left to the
ravages of old man time.
Today, after the Arsenal’s first
major renovation in!966, the his
torical old military building with
its Beaufort Museum, established
in 1930, is a ready reminder of
the low-country’s heritage.
Here, troops of the Beaufort
Artillery trained in 1776, nearly
20 years before construction of
the Arsenal was authorized by
public law in 1795. Twenty-five
hundred dollars was made avail-
ble for the construction, a mere
pittance compared to the sum
spent for restoration three years
ago.
The Beaufort Artillery was
disbanded in 1783 and reorganized
in 1800. The military group merg
ed with the Beaufort Volunteer
Guards in 1843 and took the name
Beaufort Volunteer Artillery. Af
ter the merger of the two groups,
Captain John Barnwell and his
men repaired the Arsenal. The
repairs were noted by the Clerk
of the House of Representatives
as being recorded on December
10, 1857.
Large enough to hold a garri
son of 250 men and a battery of
six guns, the Arsenal was seiz-
