Historian | Marie Berry
Marie Berry has been surrounded by history since she was little, having grown up in Charleston, SC. She attended the University of South Carolina where she worked at the South Caroliniana Library, which is the oldest separate college library in the United States. In 2002, Marie started volunteering with Raleigh Little Theatre because of her daughter Ruth. Shortly after that Ruth dragged her to the North Carolina Renaissance Faire (NCRF) and she was hooked. At NCRF she worked in the gallery and sang with Musician Royale and even was on cast one year but prefers to work back stage. Teaching people about history one-on-one is her favorite thing. When not volunteering she is found at the Campbell University Library where she is the Head of Access Services.
