Reconnect With Family.
Revisit Your Heritage.
Enjoy The LowCountry.

Welcome, or as “Gullah” natives of the Lowcountry would say, “We fa welcome oonah to de Lowcountry”. This simple Gullah greeting begins your journey to the rich African American history of South Carolina’s Treasured Coast – Beaufort, Bluffton, Hilton Head Island and Daufuskie Island. Famous for its miles of sandy beaches, world class golf courses, historical charm and delectable food, this Treasured Coast holds even more for those interested in the African American and Gullah culture and history. The influences of these cultures are reflected throughout the Lowcountry. The historic landmarks – tabby ruins built and used by slaves, cemeteries, churches and markers – give a glimpse of the past. Today’s celebrations of culture, art, food and stories keep alive many aspects of this rich heritage. Crafters still weave the popular sweetgrass baskets and make fishing nets. History lovers and families return here year after year in search of their Sea Island roots, spending time with their elders and amidst extensive collections of genealogy records at local libraries. Tours take visitors into some of the areas most hidden and diverse neighborhoods, allowing them to see and experience the lifestyle that’s part of the treasure of the Lowcountry. The summer time is the perfect backdrop to host a family reunion, itineraries can include boat rides, historical tours, cultural entertainment, cook outs, beach outings and more.
