ST. HELENA ISLAND, South Carolina — Rich in Gullah Geechee culture, St. Helena Island has deep African American roots dating back to the era of slavery and Reconstruction. This historic Sea Island is located along the southeastern coast of South Carolina in Beaufort County. The island is known for its strong preservation of African traditions—including language, cuisine, crafts, and community values—and is home to the historic Penn Center, one of the first schools established for formerly enslaved people. Today, St. Helena remains a cultural and educational landmark, featuring scenic marshes, farmland, and a close-knit community committed to preserving its heritage.
