What Visitors Are Saying...

Group 6 (1)

“Having lived on Hilton Head for nearly forty years, I never knew much about the history of our area, and I am astounded to learn that South Carolina and Beaufort County, especially Hilton Head and Daufuskie Islands, were so involved in the Revolutionary War.”

– Sea Pines Plantation Resident

“I had always thought that the Revolutionary War was fought in the North and that it ended in Virginia. Understanding how much of it took place in the South, and how incredibly significant the Southern actions were, has been an epiphany.”

– Battlefield enthusiast, and seasonal visitor to Hilton Head Island

“The depth of history in Beaufort and the extent of the town’s central role in the American Revolution is truly remarkable. How the men and women of that time stood up to British oppression, and how bitter the partisan conflict was among Americans boggles my mind. To think that, without the Patriots of South Carolina, the British might well have won is kind of alarming and truly enlightening.”

– School teacher from New Jersey, visiting Beaufort
