About this Event
BLUFFTON STORIES
Every town has a history. Bluffton has stories.
Join local historian Michael Reynolds at Kirks Mansion for a fascinating look at the people, places, events, and changes that helped shape Bluffton into the community we know today.
The approximately 60-minute presentation will explore Bluffton’s broader history while also touching on the people, properties, and stories connected to the surrounding area.
A question-and-answer session will follow, giving guests an opportunity to learn more, ask about familiar places, and perhaps finally settle a local-history debate that has been circulating for several generations.
Two identical sessions will be offered. Guests should select either the morning or evening session when purchasing tickets.
