Macdonald Marketplace

Reviewed By brendasbf_10 - Cincinnati, United States

This gift shop is absolutely gorgeous. So many nice items from all price ranges. The people who work there are so friendly. I had to go back a second time on vacation because I loved it so much. The quality of their items from furniture, art work, table settings, wine and all kinds of gifts is a real treat.

Red Piano Too Gallery

Reviewed By Pamjb53 - Bluffton, United States

This Gallery is an authentic venue for Gullah artists, as well as other artists from various locales throughout the Southern region. It highlights a culture going back to the 1800s to present, yet transcending time while emphasizing a culture that many of us might not otherwise see. The artists are highly talented and diverse.

Chapel of Ease

Reviewed By jeax2 - Peoria, United States

Very cool ruins, we all enjoyed taking a walk back in time. It was a quick stop, probably 20 minutes altogether but interesting. Definitely echo those who recommended bug spray - even with the Deep Woods Off the gnats were everywhere. Worth a stop.

Fort Fremont

Fort Fremont is a historic site. It is currently closed due to construction of an interpretive center. We expect it to reopen in 2021. A tour app is being developed for Apple and Android phones and tablets. The fort is a Spanish American War era Endicott fortification on Saint Helena Island near Beaufort, SC. Located on the shores of Port Royal Sound, an historic waterway of the Southeast Atlantic coast, Fort Fremont was active between 1888 and 1917. Learn about its place in local military history; its namesake - John C. Fremont; the diorama and other models illustrating the Fort as it looked at the turn of the twentieth century; and the volunteer Friends group which has worked diligently to preserve it, raise public awareness, and encourage the construction of the interpretive center at the Park.

Had a great last minute visit to a great historic fort. We found this place online as were eating lunch downtown beaufort. Its located right on the water on St Helena island a quick drive from Beaufort. There are information boards throughout the fort to give you history of the fort. You can also walk straight out on the beach from the fort. The quiet beach was the best part, for us anyway definitely will be back.
