This past Sunday the Clarke County Historical Society was delighted with a presentation by our very own President Marcus Gordon. His program “The Revolutionary War in the American South” provided some insightful information on the condition of the south before, during, and after the war. From the Regulators, to the Liberty Boys, the Scots-Irish, and the Huguenots, we learned a lot about how the south fought back. Something interesting to note is the Ellicott Stone located in Axis, AL. This stone once marked the line between Spanish and U.S. territory.

Saturday’s Community Work Day was a success! I would like to thank everyone who came out and participated. Your support to the museum is greatly needed and appreciated. Despite the drizzly weather we managed to clean up, rearrange, organize, AND eat a few donuts 🍩 in the process! Thanks again for all the help, and we would like to have more work days in the future so stay tuned.

The Clarke County Historical Society enjoyed a wonderful program this past Sunday on Clarke County’s patriots of the Revolutionary War. Kelly Elmore of the Elizabeth Bradford- Elijah Pugh chapter of the DAR gave information about the 23 names on the Revolutionary War monument located on the grounds of the Clarke County Museum. In addition, Elmore presented 5 more names not located on the marker, and provided her ongoing research on their involvement in the Revolution, and their possible connections to Clarke County. We want to thank Kelly for her informative presentation, and everyone who was able to attend!
