GULLAH MUSEUM
The Gullah/Geechee culture, which was
developed among the African-American slaves
of the plantation era and handed down to their
descendants, is still experienced today in the
area’s spicy cuisine, colorful art, and the cadence
of language spoken here. At the Georgetown
museum devoted to this unique culture, learn
about the role the Gullah/Geechee people
played in the introduction and development of
the cattle, indigo, and rice culture, as well as their
role in the introduction of public education in
South Carolina.
