Heritage Library Foundation - History Lessons
Oct. 01, 2025
Hilton Head Island and Bluffton history spans thousands of years from Native Americans leaving their footprints in our sand, to European settlers making fortunes in agriculture, weathering the fight for independence and civil war, establishing the first village of freed slaves, the growth of the Gullah Culture, and more that eventually led up to modern development. The Lowcountry has a multitude of stories to tell and it is the mission of The Heritage Library to help preserve much of that history. The Library also works with all those folks who have caught the genealogy bug and want to learn more about the history of their own families. The country is beginning a national celebration of the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution and The Heritage Library will be focused on sharing that part of history as we celebrate this important milestone in South Carolina and the Lowcountry. This morning we take a look at how the Library collects essential bits and pieces of our local history and works to ensure that future generations will be able to learn about our past. |
