GULLAH ROOTS HISTORICAL FOUNDATION

Daufuskie Island sits at the center of the Gullah Geechee Corridor, across Calibogue Sound and situated between Hilton Head Island, SC and Savannah, GA. It has deep and rich Gullah Roots that were allowed to survive and flourish when Union Soldiers abandoned the island after the Civil War. It is our hope to maintain collections of this history and culture, preserve our land, and pass this on to future generations;

because We Binya!!! (Been Here)
