Any trip to the Hilton Head/Bluffton area warrant time set aside to see this beautiful old church overlooking the ocean. Having seen churches all over the world this wood structure rivals any with its unique style and location.

This is a wonderful piece of history that many don't even know exist. If you have time on a nice day for the tour you will be glad you did it. So much information and such a beautiful view of the River.

Make this your first stop when visiting historic Bluffton, South Carolina. Whether you'd like to tour the house-museum, have questions about local history, need maps of the area, or just want to know where to have lunch while you're in town-- we would love to see you! The Heyward House was constructed circa 1841, and is one of only eight antebellum homes remaining in the Lowcountry coastal town of Bluffton, South Carolina. In 1998, the home was purchased by the Bluffton Historical Preservation Society and opened to the public for tours, field trips, and events. In addition to being a beautifully preserved house-museum, the Heyward House also acts as the official town Welcome Center, providing maps, information, menus, and more to visitors and residents. Because of its well-preserved condition, the Heyward House is now an Official Project of the Save America's Treasures Program, a public-private partnership between the White House Millennium Council and the National Trust for Historic Preservation.The home is open to the public for tours Monday - Friday: 10-5 and Saturday 10-4. Group tours and guided walking tours of the historic district are available with advanced reservations.
Monica and Kelly were great guides. Monica's house tour was very interesting and she demonstrated knowledge and enthusiasm. Kelly took us around the old part of town showing historic sites at every turn. Very interesting facts about a town we've been to dozens of times.
