History Buffs Enjoy Life at Hilton Head Lakes

When you live at Hilton Head Lakes there are a wealth of opportunities to explore. Outdoor activities including our 18-hole championship golf course, nature preserves, nearby beaches, charming communities, friendly neighborhoods and of course, a rich history.

If you enjoy history, this is the place for you. Everywhere you turn you’ll find a rich historical base going back to well before the Revolutionary War.

During October the Zion Cemetery and Barnyard offers a costumed tour of the cemetery where you will visit the graves of Revolutionary War heroes and learn about the contributions to and history of the Revolutionary War in the area.

Interested in Civil War history? Tour Fort Mitchell, the remains of a coastal defense battery that was erected in 1862 to protect Port Royal from incursions from Confederate gunboats. If military history isn’t exactly your thing but the Civil War period interests you, explore the Gullah heritage of the area. Gullah Heritage Trail Tours will take you to ten native islander neighborhoods established during the Civil War. The Gullah culture, though born of isolation and slavery, thrived on the US East Coast sea islands from pre-Civil War times until today, and nowhere more prominently than on Hilton Head Island, SC.
