About

Hilton Head Island has been visited and inhabited for over 4,000 years—from the earliest Indigenous communities to the era of large-scale development that began in the 1950s. This engaging program traces the island’s story through historical photos, artifacts, and interactive trivia.
Learn how the production of indigo—and later, Sea Island cotton—shaped Hilton Head during the plantation era, and how the island was transformed by the Civil War and Reconstruction. Hear what life was like when the island was accessible only by boat, before the first bridge to the mainland was built in 1956, and when Hilton Head was known as a world-class hunting retreat. Discover the vital role of Gullah culture and history in shaping the island we know today. Whether you’re a history enthusiast or just curious about the island, you’ll enjoy fascinating stories and little-known facts in this lively journey through time.

No children under the age of 7 please.
