"Pin Point Heritage Museum tells the remarkable story of the small African American fishing village that was established in the 1890s by people who had been enslaved on the nearby Sea Islands. Made up of four restored buildings, this small museum is located in the former A.S. Varn & Son Oyster and Crab Factory, and affords breathtaking views of the salt marshes along the snaking Moon River. About 300 people still live in the community, which hosts a big seafood festival every fall. The museum, which is only open Thursday through Saturday, is far enough out that it doesn't draw the big crowds, which is just as well: All the better to hear the breezes over the marsh." - Ariel Felton, Sam Worley
