St. Helena Island is a Sea Island located in Beaufort County, South Carolina. The island has a rich cultural heritage as one of the centers of Gullah culture, which developed among enslaved West Africans and their descendants in the Lowcountry region.
After the Civil War, St. Helena Island became one of the first places where formerly enslaved people could own land through the Port Royal Experiment. The Penn Center, established in 1862 as Penn School, was one of the first schools for formerly enslaved people in the American South and remains an important cultural institution preserving Gullah history and culture.
The island maintains its rural character with historic sites, traditional communities, and landscapes that reflect its significant cultural past. Local cultural traditions, including storytelling, crafts, and foodways, continue to be practiced and preserved by island residents.
