CONVERSING WITH COLONIALS

Business & Education Bldg. Room 144 • 471 University Parkway AikenSC  29801 Organized by University of South Carolina Aiken

About this event

Instructor: Gwen Spivey is an 18th Century Living Historian whose passion for sharing history has led to a decade of presentations in various local, state, and national historic sites across the Southeast. From portraying a spy at Colonial Williamsburg’s "Under the Redcoat" to public school presentations and previously penning a weekly column for The Edgefield Advertiser entitled "Time Traveler," she has engaged visitors, readers, and students alike in the ways of our colonial ancestors. Description: Time Travel to Colonial America and converse with the locals. This lecture will discuss 18th-century language, quirky laws, crime and punishment, and traveler details that will make your visit run smoothly and prevent you from being sentenced to stay in the stocks.
