This gift shop is absolutely gorgeous. So many nice items from all price ranges. The people who work there are so friendly. I had to go back a second time on vacation because I loved it so much. The quality of their items from furniture, art work, table settings, wine and all kinds of gifts is a real treat.

This Gallery is an authentic venue for Gullah artists, as well as other artists from various locales throughout the Southern region. It highlights a culture going back to the 1800s to present, yet transcending time while emphasizing a culture that many of us might not otherwise see. The artists are highly talented and diverse.

Tucked in the heart of the South Carolina Sea Islands surrounded by glimmering marshes and nestled beneath the silvery moss-draped limbs of massive live oaks, is Penn Center. It is the site of the former Penn School, one of the country's first schools for formerly enslaved individuals. Penn Center is one of the most significant African American historical and cultural institutions in existence today. We are located on St. Helena Island, one of the most beautiful and historically distinct of the South Carolina Sea Islands, and at the heart of Gullah culture

This place seems to add more and more each time I go. Fascinating local history of the first school for freed enslaved persons by 2 Quaker women. The history continues with civil rights meetings and a cottage where MLK came for rest and reflection and began drafting the "I have a dream" speech. Well worth planning 90 minutes or so. Bring the kids, they'll enjoy it too.
