Amy KwalwasserDefinitely a must see. What a window into a culture and communities ripped from their roots and they found ways to rebuild. Fun and interesting for kids and adults.

Shane McCallWe had a large groups and some technical difficulties with the technology, but the people and history are amazing. It's places like this you should learn about but rarely do.

Casey MorrisThis museum was amazing! The fusion of oral history and descriptive/tertiary source gave voice to the people and the area and enlivened my experience and connection experience at a deep and personal level to which I could see and let be. Lou was fantastic. She has an a degree in Africana studies and proves it with great insight and description of the history. The rest of the staff was accommodating and pleasant. I feel that I did not belong on such sacred grounds regardless of whether I am white but more so because I’m not Gullah/Geechee! If you are interested in Clarence Thomas/Republican history go to the Pin Point Museum. It was probably one of the most sacred places you could be in the U.S. beside for Mount Rushmore/The Black Hills or what is left of Native culture(the pueblas of New Mexico/Arizona and the natural landscape of the American West).

Elken GrateBeautiful l, historic and cultural experience ❤️. Truly informal and enlightening. The cultural influence and stroll offers a jam pack rewarding experience for everyone. The staff was knowledgeable, kind and willing to provide answers to curious visitors. Highly recommend and you do not have to print your ticket. Simply shown them the ticket on your phone. Also to note, the Pin Point areas greatly needs your financial support to keep the only Black Owned Marsh land property remaining that is not developed. The history must be preserved. In addition, the active and operating church is still accessible for service. Come support and praise the Lord on this must see history lesson.

Saroj TharisayiWhat a gem. In law school I had read that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas grew up speaking Gullah, and only learned English in school. I remember thinking, “what is Gullah?” On my first trip to Savannah I knew I had to come here. It was incredibly worth it to learn about this unique and special place and the people who lived here. Highly recommend.

Daren StennesVery interesting tour. When we arrived there was a tour bus full of people, but soon the bus left and there were only two of us and the guide. We learned many new things we did not know before.
