Students from Esther F. Garrison School for the Arts recently learned about Gullah-Geechee culture on a field trip to Pin Point Heritage Museum in Savannah.

Bring your class to discover this hidden gem on Moon River Marsh.

Housed in the former A.S. Varn & Son Oyster and Crab Factory, Pin Point Heritage Museum celebrates coastal Georgia's Gullah-Geechee culture and shares the story of a resilient community founded in 1896 by freed enslaved people following the Civil War.

Book your student group visits and educational programs through Coastal Heritage Society Field Trips Portal for Pin Point Heritage Museum. Link in comments.
