SUMMARY:Harbour Town Lighthouse
DESCRIPTION:The Spirit of Beginning \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. \nHow the Story is Told \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. \nViewing the Paradise Beyond \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. 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.

SUMMARY:Harbour Town Lighthouse
DESCRIPTION:The Spirit of Beginning \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. \nHow the Story is Told \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. \nViewing the Paradise Beyond \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. 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.

SUMMARY:Harbour Town Lighthouse
DESCRIPTION:The Spirit of Beginning \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. \nHow the Story is Told \nThe Lighthouse has been so effective at telling the story of Hilton Head Island\, that it was designated an Official Coast Guard Museum.

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. 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.

SUMMARY:Harbour Town Lighthouse
DESCRIPTION:The Spirit of Beginning \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. \nHow the Story is Told \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.

SUMMARY:Hilton Head History Tour
DESCRIPTION:Beyond its world-class beaches\, golf and unparalleled biodiversity\, Hilton Head has a range of recorded history and pre-history that is unmatched by any other single location in the United States.  Not only were its lands inhabited by Paleo-Indians nearly 10\,000 years ago\, but it was first noted in the log of a Spanish explorer in 1521 and has been an active participant in every major period of American history. \nEnjoy a three-hour\, expert guided tour to learn about Hilton Head’s uniqueness….from a pre-historic Native American structure known as a shell ring\, to an early plantation which grew both indigo and the fabled sea island cotton\, to the area of a Revolutionary War militia muster house and chapel that served as Hilton Head’s town center in the later 1700’s\, to the location of the first fully self-governed Freedmen’s town in the U.S.\, the birthplace of freedom for formerly enslaved African-Americans…all here on Hilton Head Island. \nAdditionally\, you will tour a Civil War fortification\, witness to the nearly 35\,000 troops who served on Hilton Head Island during the years of the war\, and we will visit the only location on the island today that allows the experience of the landscape and nature of life on an Antebellum\, sea island cotton plantation. \nAir-conditioned executive coaches are provided to transport you from site to site.  At most of the stops you will exit the vehicle and tour the site with your guide at hand.  Our guides are long-term residents\, local historians\, and professional heritage interpreters\, as well as knowledgeable storytellers. \n  \nMonday through Friday \nCall for tour schedule and reservations. 843-949-0144 \n  \n

SUMMARY:Harbour Town Lighthouse
DESCRIPTION:The Spirit of Beginning \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. \nHow the Story is Told \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. \nViewing the Paradise Beyond \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.
