ABOUT
Pin Point Heritage Museum
Learn about one of the few remaining coastal Georgia communities established by free African Americans at the turn of the 20th century. The Pin Point Heritage Museum tells the story of the Pin Point community founded in 1890 by freed slaves, many from Ossabaw Island. Located in what was once the Varn and Sons Oyster Canning Factory, the refurbished Museum features exhibit panels on the history, religion, music, language, traditions, and community of the Gullah/Geechee culture. Visitors can also see multimedia presentations, photographs, and artifacts, as well as scenic views of the marsh. Groups of 10 or more can book a tour of the Museum any day of the week.
