Gullah Geechee culture is a unique blend of West-African traditions and South Carolina plantation culture. Back in the 15th century, slavers brought in people from different parts of West Africa to work in the rice plantations. Separated from the American mainland, these plantation workers created a unique culture with bits and pieces of their heritage – creating something unique for themselves.
The Gullah culture, its food, and people are some of the best things’ tourist discover on their tour. Planning on making the trip to Hilton Head Island? Then, it is time to pack your bag and head to the island to explore the local culture, especially during the fall season.
