After two days of searching, we finally found thissmall "GULLAH" museum.
Gullah was a secret language used by the slaves to communicate
with each other and really describes a whole way of life.
The quilts in the shop are all handmade and tell the
stories of their lives.
Various displays, such as the dolls above, show their
way of life in the early settlements.
This quilt shows the stages of the changes in their lives.
This quilt was crafted for Michelle Obama by the wife of the
museum owner and is currently on tour.
Early Africa dress.
