SUMMARY:Gullah Virtual Library at Arts Center of Coastal Carolina
DESCRIPTION:Discovering the Gullah Culture\nThe Gullah people of the Lowcountry are descendants of the enslaved Africans from West and Central Africa\, and their rich cultural legacy endures.

SUMMARY:Harbour Town Lighthouse
DESCRIPTION:The Spirit of Beginning  \n  \nThe Harbour Town Lighthouse has stood for more than 50 years as a beacon and a symbol of the creative spirit of Charles Fraser. The Sea Pines founder and visionary is laid to rest under the Liberty Oak facing the Lighthouse he built as a welcome to all who come to visit or stay a lifetime. It has become a part of the story people take home with them\, an essential symbol of the dreams that have come true here. No matter how often you come to Hilton Head Island\, the Harbour Town Lighthouse is a must-do experience. \nA visit to Hilton Head Island without a visit to the Harbour Town Lighthouse has been described as\, “like going to Paris and not seeing the Eifel Tower. It’s not just a landmark – although it is all of that – the Lighthouse is the single strongest symbol of Hilton Head Island. It is the image that says it all. Everyone from visitors to publishers to movie-makers pictures the Lighthouse\, when Hilton Head Island is the topic. There are a host of good reasons for that. \n  \nHow the Story is Told \n  \nThe Lighthouse has been so effective at telling the story of Hilton Head Island\, that it was designated an Official Coast Guard Museum. The Coast Guard display features a 1:5 scale model of the “Eagle\,” the historic 295-foot cutter that serves as a seagoing classroom for Coast Guard cadets. The ship’s original plans were used in the construction of the 16-foot\, hand-built model\, a truly amazing work of art. \n  \nViewing the Paradise Beyond  \n  \nThe Lighthouse Museum features a Daufuskie Island display con­sisting of artifacts and a taste of the curious\, mystical story of Dau­fuskie. From the pottery of prehistoric civilizations to the refined\, sea island sensibility of Haig Point. From Native Americans through Spanish explorers through the tenacious families who stayed on through thick and thin to enjoy the beauty of life on this “paradise beyond\,” the Daufuskie Island display in the Lighthouse is a trip worth taking. \nFrom pre-history and native peoples to the life and times at Sea Pines over the years\, a visit through the lighthouse has become a fascinating climb through the history of Hilton Head Island. There’s something fun to learn on every landing. And there is a state-of-the-art webcam on the top so you can call your friends and family wherever they are\, have them link up to the Lighthouse web site to see you in action on the observation deck.

SUMMARY:Harbour Town Lighthouse
DESCRIPTION:The Spirit of Beginning  \n  \nThe Harbour Town Lighthouse has stood for more than 50 years as a beacon and a symbol of the creative spirit of Charles Fraser. The Sea Pines founder and visionary is laid to rest under the Liberty Oak facing the Lighthouse he built as a welcome to all who come to visit or stay a lifetime. It has become a part of the story people take home with them\, an essential symbol of the dreams that have come true here. No matter how often you come to Hilton Head Island\, the Harbour Town Lighthouse is a must-do experience. \nA visit to Hilton Head Island without a visit to the Harbour Town Lighthouse has been described as\, “like going to Paris and not seeing the Eifel Tower. It’s not just a landmark – although it is all of that – the Lighthouse is the single strongest symbol of Hilton Head Island. It is the image that says it all. Everyone from visitors to publishers to movie-makers pictures the Lighthouse\, when Hilton Head Island is the topic. There are a host of good reasons for that. \n  \nHow the Story is Told \n  \nThe Lighthouse has been so effective at telling the story of Hilton Head Island\, that it was designated an Official Coast Guard Museum. The Coast Guard display features a 1:5 scale model of the “Eagle\,” the historic 295-foot cutter that serves as a seagoing classroom for Coast Guard cadets. The ship’s original plans were used in the construction of the 16-foot\, hand-built model\, a truly amazing work of art. \n  \nViewing the Paradise Beyond  \n  \nThe Lighthouse Museum features a Daufuskie Island display con­sisting of artifacts and a taste of the curious\, mystical story of Dau­fuskie. From the pottery of prehistoric civilizations to the refined\, sea island sensibility of Haig Point. From Native Americans through Spanish explorers through the tenacious families who stayed on through thick and thin to enjoy the beauty of life on this “paradise beyond\,” the Daufuskie Island display in the Lighthouse is a trip worth taking. \nFrom pre-history and native peoples to the life and times at Sea Pines over the years\, a visit through the lighthouse has become a fascinating climb through the history of Hilton Head Island. There’s something fun to learn on every landing. And there is a state-of-the-art webcam on the top so you can call your friends and family wherever they are\, have them link up to the Lighthouse web site to see you in action on the observation deck.

SUMMARY:Gullah Virtual Library at Arts Center of Coastal Carolina
DESCRIPTION:Discovering the Gullah Culture\nThe Gullah people of the Lowcountry are descendants of the enslaved Africans from West and Central Africa\, and their rich cultural legacy endures. The Gullah (sometimes called Geechee) corridor extends from North Carolina to northern Florida including both the mainland and sea islands. \nAccording to Gullah expert Dr. Emory Campbell\,* the Gullah have preserved much of their African language and cultural heritage in part due to isolated living conditions.

DESCRIPTION:Discovering the Gullah Culture\nThe Gullah people of the Lowcountry are descendants of the enslaved Africans from West and Central Africa\, and their rich cultural legacy endures. The Gullah (sometimes called Geechee) corridor extends from North Carolina to northern Florida including both the mainland and sea islands. \nAccording to Gullah expert Dr. Emory Campbell\,* the Gullah have preserved much of their African language and cultural heritage in part due to isolated living conditions. Gullah artistic traditions such as music\, storytelling\, folktales\, crafts\, basket making or “sewing” and rice-based foods encompass strong influences from West African Cultures. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nGullah Traditions Endure\nGullah artists such as basketweavers\, dancers\, storytellers\, and singers carry on traditions brought to the Lowcountry. For example\, coiled sea grass basketry has survived in America for 300 years\, and these baskets are now recognized as an art form. Gullah spoken language\, folktales and stories as well as spirituals and gospels are passed down from generation to generation. \n\n\nThe Gullah Virtual Library\nThis Virtual Library was designed to provide educators with resources such as videos\, lessons plans\, handouts\, and digital content. These tools aid in the study of Gullah history while allowing students to experience Gullah arts and culture. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Emory Campbell\n*Former Penn Center Director\, former chair of the Gullah – Geechee Corridor Commission\, co-author of the new book “Gullah Days: Hilton Head Islanders Before the Bridge 1861-1956” and a past member of the Arts Center’s Board of Trustees. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCulture and Foodways\n\n\n\nDaufuskie Island Virtual Gullah Tour with Sallie Ann Robinson\n\n\n\nGullah History and Culture Presentation\nDownload\n\n\nGullah History and Culture Study Guide\nDownload\n\n\nGullah Recipes\nDownload\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArts and Traditional Crafts\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Significance of Adinkra Symbols in Gullah Art with Amiri Farris\n\n\n\n\nPreserving the Art of Sweetgrass Basket Sewing with Michael Smalls & Dino Badger\n\n\n\n\nArtist Bios Michael Smalls and Dino Badger\nDownload\n\n\nSweetgrass Word Search\nDownload\n\n\nExploring Printmaking through African Symbols and Textiles Lesson Plan\nDownload\n\n\nUnderstanding How Symbols Communicate Stories and Meaning Presentation\nDownload\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSongs and Stories\n\n\n\nGullah Tales with Anita Singleton Prather\n\n\n\nExploring Gullah Folktales through Puppetry\nDownload\n\n\nGullah Folktales Presentation\nDownload\n\n\nFolktales\nVisit Website\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHistorial Sites and PLantation Life\n\n\n\nWhat Tabby Ruins Reveal about Gullah History with Dr. Emory Campbell\n\n\n\nSTEM Activity Engineering Tabby with Rice Cereal Lesson Plan\nDownload\n\n\nHilton Head Island Cultural Trail Map\nVisit Website\n\n\nTabby Slave Cabins: Tabby Demonstration\nWatch Video\n\n\nArchaeological History of Tabby\nVisit Website\n\n\nHeritage Library Presents: Our Storied Island\nVisit Website\n\n\nPenn Center\nVisit Website\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLifestyle and Community\n\n\n\nA Visit to the Gullah Museum with Storyteller Louise Miller Cohen\n\n\n\nMitchelville\nVisit Website\n\n\nOCA – Gullah Celebration Video\nWatch Video\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRecommended Gullah Education Books\n\n\n \nA Sweet\, Sweet Basket\nby Margie Clary\n\n\n \nCircle Unbroken\nby Margot Raven\n\n\n \nGullah Days: Hilton Head Islanders Before the Bridge 1861-1956\nby Dr. Emory Campbell\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis project is funded in part by the South Carolina Arts Commission which receives support from the National Endowment for the Arts. \nAdditional support is provided by the Winthrop Family Allendale/Hampton Fund which is managed by Coastal Community Foundation of S.C.

SUMMARY:Harbour Town Lighthouse
DESCRIPTION:The Spirit of Beginning  \n  \nThe Harbour Town Lighthouse has stood for more than 50 years as a beacon and a symbol of the creative spirit of Charles Fraser. The Sea Pines founder and visionary is laid to rest under the Liberty Oak facing the Lighthouse he built as a welcome to all who come to visit or stay a lifetime. It has become a part of the story people take home with them\, an essential symbol of the dreams that have come true here. No matter how often you come to Hilton Head Island\, the Harbour Town Lighthouse is a must-do experience. \nA visit to Hilton Head Island without a visit to the Harbour Town Lighthouse has been described as\, “like going to Paris and not seeing the Eifel Tower. It’s not just a landmark – although it is all of that – the Lighthouse is the single strongest symbol of Hilton Head Island. It is the image that says it all. Everyone from visitors to publishers to movie-makers pictures the Lighthouse\, when Hilton Head Island is the topic. There are a host of good reasons for that. \n  \nHow the Story is Told \n  \nThe Lighthouse has been so effective at telling the story of Hilton Head Island\, that it was designated an Official Coast Guard Museum. The Coast Guard display features a 1:5 scale model of the “Eagle\,” the historic 295-foot cutter that serves as a seagoing classroom for Coast Guard cadets. The ship’s original plans were used in the construction of the 16-foot\, hand-built model\, a truly amazing work of art. \n  \nViewing the Paradise Beyond  \n  \nThe Lighthouse Museum features a Daufuskie Island display con­sisting of artifacts and a taste of the curious\, mystical story of Dau­fuskie. From the pottery of prehistoric civilizations to the refined\, sea island sensibility of Haig Point. From Native Americans through Spanish explorers through the tenacious families who stayed on through thick and thin to enjoy the beauty of life on this “paradise beyond\,” the Daufuskie Island display in the Lighthouse is a trip worth taking. \nFrom pre-history and native peoples to the life and times at Sea Pines over the years\, a visit through the lighthouse has become a fascinating climb through the history of Hilton Head Island. There’s something fun to learn on every landing. And there is a state-of-the-art webcam on the top so you can call your friends and family wherever they are\, have them link up to the Lighthouse web site to see you in action on the observation deck.
