Discover the history of the heroes from Edisto

We created this tour in collaboration with Greg Estevez, author of Edisto Island, The African American Journey. Learn the amazing stories of historic heroes from Edisto and the ACE Basin. Get on the waterways traveled by people who were active participants in gaining their freedom. We will uncover the links between the geography of the area and the history as we travel the rivers and creeks that served as transportation routes. Learn about Gullah/Geechee culture and the challenges the community faces today on the island.

The proceeds from this tour support home repair and improvement projects for Gullah/Geechee community members.
