Friday Charlotte Forten Supper with Chef BJ Dennis

Charlotte Forten arrived on St. Helena Island in October 1862 to become a teacher at the new Penn school. She wrote extensively about her experiences here in her journal and articles that appeared in The Atlantic newspaper. This event will celebrate the anniversary of her arrival and tenure at Penn School and her appreciation of the beautiful landscapes that she saw throughout the Beaufort District and the South. Her vivid descriptions of the flora and fauna are prime examples of nature journaling and how much she enjoyed being outdoors. This year we will celebrate Ms. Forten’s outdoor experiences and encourage women to explore nature in various ways through camping, hiking, kayaking, and nature journaling.

This supper will feature a special presentation about Charlotte Forten and a meal prepared by Chef BJ Dennis who will favor us with Gullah cuisine, many dishes will be cooked outside over fire. Tickets are available for the supper and the weekend event. Women participating in the weekend with meals will include the Friday Supper prepared by Chef BJ Dennis.
