Reviewed By Snyderlink7645

If you are staying in Beaufort, make sure you take the time to drive diwn Bay Street! There are beautiful historic homes dating back to the 1800's. In the quaint little town, there are many interesting shops with a great variety of items. You can take a horse drawn tour through the area. Right now the homes are decorated for the holidays! Great little town close to Marine training depot.

A simple bust monument with a great quote next to Tabernacle Baptist church he helped to start. His story is one of devotion and hard work.

Sams Plantation Complex Tabby Ruins

Reviewed By billr48

First off, I'm biased. We moved to Dataw Island about 3 years ago. Then discovered the community has pro-actively worked to professionally preserve these Tabby Ruins. I fell in love with the history of the place and the family that built it. Second, this is a fascinating site with a nice museum next door that contains artifacts from and descriptions of the original plantation. Worth your time.
