Come to the Captain Kimberly Hampton Memorial Library in Easley to explore the stories and legacies that continue to shape our nation.

The second program in the Liberty & Legacy series with Rick Wise will cover the Battle of Blackstock’s Plantation, a pivotal military engagement that took place in the Carolina Backcountry.

A U.S. Army veteran and trained military historian, he plays a leading role in The Liberty Trail project and regularly provides battlefield interpretation, public programs, and preservation guidance. Rick’s clear, engaging approach makes complex history easy to understand—and unforgettable.
