Edisto Island Black History
African Americans were vital in the creation of colonial Edisto Island, and Black history tours along the Carolina Coast offer visitors insight into the daily struggles and triumphs of an African American in colonial Edisto Island. Museums and tour operators along the Carolina Coast all recognize the absolute necessity in preserving the Gullah culture and the invaluable role that African Americans played in the shaping of the Low Country. The African American cultural traditions dating back to the early 17th century are kept alive through local museums and tours, and exhibits demonstrating the day to day life of an enslaved African American in colonial times. Visitors to Edisto Island have the opportunity to experience black history through plantation tours, Black History museums, and other cultural tours highlighting the importance of African Americans in Edisto Island's history.
