Set in what used to be the AS Varn & Son Oyster Seafood Factory, this museum highlights the culture and history of the Gullah-Geechee peoples in the Pin Point community, which was established by first-generation freed slaves and thrived for nearly 100 years. Exhibitions showcase the community's connection to the seafood and fishing industries, which were a vital part of their livelihood.
