SUMMARY:Lies the Tour Guide Told Me with Tom McGehee
DESCRIPTION:Fact or Fiction?\nAnyone who has toured historic homes in the United States has no doubt had a tour guide who did not let truth get in the way of a good story. Dentil molding in a hall is a smile greeting visitors. Fireplace mantels were painted black in the early 19th century as a symbol of mourning the death of George Washington. Houses did not have closets in the 18th and 19th centuries due to a tax on rooms. Itinerant portrait painters maintained an inventory of headless canvasses and simply painted the subject’s head on top of them. All of these tales have been told and all are total bunk. \nIn nearly seven decades of its having been open to the public\, visitors have been told some very interesting tales. Jackie Kennedy tried to get some of Mrs. Bellingrath’s china for the White House. A game table is disguised to avoid a luxury tax. There was a special room in the home where Mr. Bellingrath’s nieces had their dates. These are just a few of the tall tales which visitors have heard over the years. \nJoin Tom McGehee as we explore these “fawbits” (Fictional Accounts without Basis in Truth). We will look at some of the most common as well as those related to tours of the Bellingrath Home in years past. \nPlan Your Visit\nDon’t miss this opportunity to explore the Gardens and learn something you did know. \n\nDate: February 12th\nTime: 10:30 AM\nLocation: Magnolia Room\, Bellingrath Gardens & Home\n\nIncluded with Gardens Admission or Membership

DESCRIPTION:Southern Footprints: Exploring Gulf Coast Archaeology\nSouthern Footprints highlights over fifty years of groundbreaking archaeological research conducted by the University of South Alabama and the Center for Archaeological Studies. Archaeologists Dr. Gregory A. Waselkov and Dr. Philip J. Carr\, past and current directors of the center\, present a curated selection of key discoveries that have reshaped our understanding of human history on the Alabama and Mississippi Gulf Coast\, from the Ice Age to the present day.

They also discuss the profound effects of climate change\, environmental disasters\, development\, and neglect\, stressing the urgent need to protect these historic areas. Richly illustrated with color photographs that capture the ongoing archaeological work—often supported by dedicated volunteers—Southern Footprints stands as an essential reference for understanding the Gulf Coast’s rich cultural heritage. \nAbout Dr. Gregory A.
