Welcome to Daufuskie: a bridge-less island that was home to the Yemmassee Indians in the 1700s and the Gullah population after the Civil War. Daufuskie is situated between Hilton Head Island, SC and Savannah, Georgia, with a population of only 400 permanent residents. The island is unique in that it is not operated to follow an overwhelmingly industrialized lifestyle. Most of the roads are unpaved, have no street lights, and are traveled by golf carts. There are no shopping centers or big businesses-every resident has to take a ferry back to Hilton Head to grocery shop or to gather mail. The simplicity of life on Daufuskie has stirred a culture full of creativity and community that work to preserve the island’s history. If you visit, you will embark upon a journey like no other. Travel back in time to the 1700’s, where the Yemmassee Indians battled the European colonists to continue control over what is now known as Bloody Point. Fast forward to the years after the Civil War, where the Gullah population of freed slaves built homes, schools, and churches. Continue down the road to witness the school that the famous novelist Pat Conroy taught in, and then go and see some of the last living Carolina Marsh Tackey horses. Lastly, turn the corner to see the works of art created by individuals who credit their entrepreneurial efforts to the island’s culture. As you steer the golf cart to see all of the island’s historical glory, don’t forget the value of simplicity that the past, present, and future Daufuskie Island can teach us. Let this website be your virtual guide to the must see sights and must feel emotions that fill your soul when you explore Daufuskie.
