The Porch Light of Beaufort: Stories That Never Fade

About Chambers Chatter

Where Every Story Finds a Porch

Some stories are too good to stay tucked away. In Beaufort, South Carolina, history lingers in the salt air, in the creak of porch swings, and in the voices of the people who’ve walked these streets for generations.


We’re Laura and Shae—two sisters with a whole lot of love for Beaufort and the South. We grew up knowing that stories weren’t just told here, they were lived—in Sunday suppers, in quiet walks down mossy streets, and in conversations that carried wisdom from one generation to the next.


That’s why we created Chambers Chatter: a Southern storytelling series that feels like sitting on a front porch with friends, where the tea is sweet, the conversation is real, and every voice matters.

Our Purpose: Keeping the Porch Light On ✨

Chambers Chatter isn’t just content—it’s a living diary of Beaufort. Through heartfelt interviews, nostalgic reflections, and community highlights, we preserve the voices that shaped the Lowcountry and celebrate the ones shaping it now.


We believe:

  • Every story deserves to be told.

  • Every generation deserves to remember.

  • Every porch holds a piece of the South’s soul.




What You’ll Find on Our Porch 🌿


Pull up a chair, pour a glass of sweet tea, and stay awhile. We’ve made this porch to feel like home. Every story we share is a little piece of Beaufort, kept alive and passed along.


Sometimes it’s long conversations with locals, the kind that make you laugh, cry, and remember why home feels so special. You’ll find those full talks on our YouTube Channel, with little snippets of wisdom and joy sprinkled on our accounts on Facebook and Instagram.


Other times, it’s looking back and looking forward — Beaufort’s history right alongside the way it’s growing today. Old photos, new faces, quick reels that show how the past and present meet on these streets.

We also love catching the everyday magic — a festival, a neighbor’s wave, a quick porch chat that reminds you this town really is family.


And for those just finding Beaufort, we’ve got guides and glimpses: the best spot for a sunset picnic, art strolls on a Saturday, shrimp on your plate with the tide rolling in.


Of course, we couldn’t forget the people who make this place shine. Local shops, artists, teachers, and hometown heroes — the voices that give Beaufort its heartbeat.


Every piece, every memory, every chat is part of the bigger story. And on this porch, there’s always room for you.



Who We Speak To 💙


This porch is really for anyone who loves Beaufort, in their own way. It’s for the folks who’ve been here all their lives — the ones who carry family stories in their back pockets and can still point out where every memory happened.


It’s for the newer faces, too — people just finding their place here, falling in love with the moss-draped oaks, the tides, and the way neighbors still wave from their porches.


It’s also for those who may have left but never really let go. The ones who carry Beaufort in their hearts no matter where they live now, chasing a little piece of Southern nostalgia every time they hear cicadas sing.


And of course, it’s for the dreamers and doers — the shop owners, the artists, the teachers, the helpers — the people who make Beaufort feel alive every single day.


Whoever you are, if Beaufort feels like home — or even just like a place you want to know better — there’s a spot waiting for you here with us.


Why We Do This 🌸


For us, this isn’t just a project. It’s a passion. Chambers Chatter is our way of honoring Beaufort’s past, celebrating its people, and keeping a light burning for the next generation of storytellers.


Because stories don’t just tell us where we’ve been—they remind us who we are.


And here in Beaufort, every story finds a porch. 💙
