Welcome to the Beaufort Historic Site, set in the quaint seaport village of Beaufort, North Carolina. Beaufort, North Carolina's third oldest town, lies on the coast bordering the southern tip of the Outer Banks. Originally a fishing village and port of safety dating from the late 1600's, Beaufort has been visited by patriots, privateers, merchants and skilled craftsmen who built Bahamian and West

Indian style homes and public buildings. Approximately 150 of these restored historic homes proudly bear plaques noting names of earliest known owners and dates of original construction. The Plan of Beaufort Towne, laid out in 1713, survives in a 12-block area which today is on the National Register of Historic Places. Located in the heart of the Historic District is the Beaufort Historic Site, which depicts 18th and 19th century coastal Carolina. The Site houses nine historic buildings as well as the Welcome Center on almost two acres.

Marion Clark Weathers is an active member and influencer in the eastern North Carolina arts community both as a prize winning artist, organizational leader and designer. She likes to describe moments that can be forever in paint. “I want people to feel peace and happiness when they see my work, through a beautiful moment striking color and light...but it’s also important to have something to say, and to build sound compositional elements and themes into our art.” When she paints the NC landscape, she sees air & space between the trees, dancing memories with moments of grace and peace.

Weathers says, “I have a little sign in my studio that says: ‘Paint. Trust. Today.’ It is a reminder to trust my gifts, let the creative spirit enter...and get to work!”

Marion Clark Weathers shows her work primarily in galleries and juried exhibitions across North Carolina, including the Mattie King Davis Art Gallery. Most days she can be found painting in her studio beside Goose Creek Lake in Rocky Mount, North Carolina.
