SUMMARY:Hilton Head History Tours
DESCRIPTION:HILTON HEAD HISTORY TOUR\nBeyond 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 late 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 HHI!\nAdditionally\, you will tour a Civil War fortification\, witness to the nearly 35\,000 troops who served on HHI 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.\nMonday through Friday\nCall for tour schedule and reservations. 843-949-0144

SUMMARY:Poetry Trail of Hilton Head Island
DESCRIPTION:WHAT’S THIS ALL ABOUT\, YOU ASK?\nWell\, first\, it’s all about the poets. Did you know Hilton Head Island is packed with poets? Award-winning\, multi-published\, open mic slamming’ all-around jamming’ actual poets? Come on in! Meet us! We’ve got a trail of reading just for you. If you are here\, you have found at least one such poet. What location number was it? Where did you find it? Because whoever you found\, there are 23 more across the island! Some of the featured poets are:\nElizabeth Robin\nMiho Kinnas\nPhil Lindsey\nBarry Dickson\nLola Campbell\nSofia Segura\nBill Borg\nBill Newby\nDenise Spencer\nLuAnn Winkle\nKyle Zubatsky \nSecond\, it’s all about cool ways to see our island! The idea came about as a marriage of technology\, creative writing\, public art\, and arts-minded businesses. It’s a new way to see Hilton Head Island: through the eyes of the poets who live in the area. Confused\, wondering What is it? as you stare at the huge sculpture Carocol in Shelter Cove Park? Scan the trail sign and Elizabeth Abrams gives you one interpretation with “O’Keefe’s Woody Orchid.” It’s the kind of collaboration that makes the arts an experience.\nThird\, it’s all about collaboration! The project is a partnership between the Town of Hilton Head Island’s Office of Cultural Affairs and the Island Writers’ Network. Restaurants and art shops and theaters and historic spots are involved\, and the poems just add to their stories. Here are some of our poetry hosts:\nArts Center of Coastal Carolina\nGullah Museum\nHHI Sculpture Installations\nHHSO Soundwaves\nPicture This Gallery\nRedfish\nRollers\nTio’s\n\nAnd finally\, it’s all about keeping it fresh. Every season of the year\, the poems at most stops will be switched out for others. As we said\, we’re packed with poets\, so we’ll swap out poems regularly so that you can meet all of them. Plus\, that reading trail will keep changing\, so you can visit again and again and it will always feel new.\nHow does it work? Along the trail are easy-to-find\, numbered signs containing two QR codes. One takes you to a poem written by a poet living in the area\, plus bonus information about that poet. The other takes you to the trail’s Facebook page\, where you can find the entire route. There\, you can plan a full tour\, or comment on the poem\, the art\, or the business you visited along the way. Scanning the sign allows the Office of Cultural Affairs to track traffic\, key data that helps direct new projects in our arts community.

SUMMARY:Poetry Trail of Hilton Head Island
DESCRIPTION:WHAT’S THIS ALL ABOUT\, YOU ASK?\nWell\, first\, it’s all about the poets. Did you know Hilton Head Island is packed with poets? Award-winning\, multi-published\, open mic slamming’ all-around jamming’ actual poets? Come on in! Meet us! We’ve got a trail of reading just for you. If you are here\, you have found at least one such poet. What location number was it? Where did you find it? Because whoever you found\, there are 23 more across the island! Some of the featured poets are:\nElizabeth Robin\nMiho Kinnas\nPhil Lindsey\nBarry Dickson\nLola Campbell\nSofia Segura\nBill Borg\nBill Newby\nDenise Spencer\nLuAnn Winkle\nKyle Zubatsky \nSecond\, it’s all about cool ways to see our island! The idea came about as a marriage of technology\, creative writing\, public art\, and arts-minded businesses. It’s a new way to see Hilton Head Island: through the eyes of the poets who live in the area. Confused\, wondering What is it? as you stare at the huge sculpture Carocol in Shelter Cove Park? Scan the trail sign and Elizabeth Abrams gives you one interpretation with “O’Keefe’s Woody Orchid.” It’s the kind of collaboration that makes the arts an experience.\nThird\, it’s all about collaboration! The project is a partnership between the Town of Hilton Head Island’s Office of Cultural Affairs and the Island Writers’ Network. Restaurants and art shops and theaters and historic spots are involved\, and the poems just add to their stories. Here are some of our poetry hosts:\nArts Center of Coastal Carolina\nGullah Museum\nHHI Sculpture Installations\nHHSO Soundwaves\nPicture This Gallery\nRedfish\nRollers\nTio’s\n\nAnd finally\, it’s all about keeping it fresh. Every season of the year\, the poems at most stops will be switched out for others. As we said\, we’re packed with poets\, so we’ll swap out poems regularly so that you can meet all of them. Plus\, that reading trail will keep changing\, so you can visit again and again and it will always feel new.\nHow does it work? Along the trail are easy-to-find\, numbered signs containing two QR codes. One takes you to a poem written by a poet living in the area\, plus bonus information about that poet. The other takes you to the trail’s Facebook page\, where you can find the entire route. There\, you can plan a full tour\, or comment on the poem\, the art\, or the business you visited along the way. Scanning the sign allows the Office of Cultural Affairs to track traffic\, key data that helps direct new projects in our arts community.

SUMMARY:Hilton Head History Tours
DESCRIPTION:HILTON HEAD HISTORY TOUR\nBeyond 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.

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.\nMonday through Friday\nCall for tour schedule and reservations. 843-949-0144

SUMMARY:Hilton Head History Tours
DESCRIPTION:HILTON HEAD HISTORY TOUR\nBeyond 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 late 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 HHI!\nAdditionally\, you will tour a Civil War fortification\, witness to the nearly 35\,000 troops who served on HHI 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.\nMonday through Friday\nCall for tour schedule and reservations. 843-949-0144

SUMMARY:Poetry Trail of Hilton Head Island
DESCRIPTION:WHAT’S THIS ALL ABOUT\, YOU ASK?\nWell\, first\, it’s all about the poets. Did you know Hilton Head Island is packed with poets? Award-winning\, multi-published\, open mic slamming’ all-around jamming’ actual poets? Come on in! Meet us! We’ve got a trail of reading just for you. If you are here\, you have found at least one such poet. What location number was it? Where did you find it? Because whoever you found\, there are 23 more across the island! Some of the featured poets are:\nElizabeth Robin\nMiho Kinnas\nPhil Lindsey\nBarry Dickson\nLola Campbell\nSofia Segura\nBill Borg\nBill Newby\nDenise Spencer\nLuAnn Winkle\nKyle Zubatsky \nSecond\, it’s all about cool ways to see our island! The idea came about as a marriage of technology\, creative writing\, public art\, and arts-minded businesses. It’s a new way to see Hilton Head Island: through the eyes of the poets who live in the area. Confused\, wondering What is it? as you stare at the huge sculpture Carocol in Shelter Cove Park? Scan the trail sign and Elizabeth Abrams gives you one interpretation with “O’Keefe’s Woody Orchid.” It’s the kind of collaboration that makes the arts an experience.\nThird\, it’s all about collaboration! The project is a partnership between the Town of Hilton Head Island’s Office of Cultural Affairs and the Island Writers’ Network. Restaurants and art shops and theaters and historic spots are involved\, and the poems just add to their stories. Here are some of our poetry hosts:\nArts Center of Coastal Carolina\nGullah Museum\nHHI Sculpture Installations\nHHSO Soundwaves\nPicture This Gallery\nRedfish\nRollers\nTio’s\n\nAnd finally\, it’s all about keeping it fresh. Every season of the year\, the poems at most stops will be switched out for others. As we said\, we’re packed with poets\, so we’ll swap out poems regularly so that you can meet all of them. Plus\, that reading trail will keep changing\, so you can visit again and again and it will always feel new.\nHow does it work? Along the trail are easy-to-find\, numbered signs containing two QR codes. One takes you to a poem written by a poet living in the area\, plus bonus information about that poet. The other takes you to the trail’s Facebook page\, where you can find the entire route. There\, you can plan a full tour\, or comment on the poem\, the art\, or the business you visited along the way. Scanning the sign allows the Office of Cultural Affairs to track traffic\, key data that helps direct new projects in our arts community.
