General Info

Hunnah! That’s the word for “Welcome” in the Gullah language created by enslaved Africans brought to the Sea Islands off South Carolina during Colonial times. So Hunnah to the Gullah Museum! We’re located in historic downtown Georgetown, South Carolina. The Gullah Museum offers presentations on Gullah Geechee history, crop cultivation, animal husbandry, and distinctive arts and crafts. The museum was founded by Vermelle “Bunny” Rodrigues and her husband, Andrew Rodrigues, J.D. They are now with the ancestors but their daughters carry on Bunny and Andrew’s mission to educate visitors about the rich history of the Gullah Geechee people. Please note that there will be a small dog on the premises who loves people. Suggested donation: $10 for adults.Hunnah!
