They are all people (both real and fictional) that contribute to our experiences during the Beaufort, South Carolina trip.
First, you are probably wondering about the last two, Aviles and Vest. Pedros Menendez de Aviles is best known for founding St. Augustine, Florida. Prior to that and 40 years before the colony of Jamestown, he founded Santa Elena in 1566 at Parris Island, near Beaufort. We learn about “Santa Elena: America’s Untold Story” during a tour at the Santa Elena History Center.

What about Alabama Vest? A popular belief is that he was an African-American in Macon, Georgia, who invented the kazoo around 1840, although there is no documentation to support that claim. This story and a tour of the Kazoo Museum and Factory is an option in the afternoon. You can even learn to make your own Kazoo!

The Penn Center was a retreat site for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and human rights activists in the 1960’s. We visit this during our “Journey From Slavery to Freedom” tour. This tour also focuses on the culture of the Gullah/Geechee people who have lived here for generations. We learn about their struggles, their survival and unique culture through storytelling and dance. The tour also features a stop at a regional Folk Art gallery.

Finally, we learn about why Southern writer Pat Conroy loved living in Beaufort and how this town inspired some of his great novels such as the Prince of Tides and Great Santini during our tour with Beaufort Tours. Many film locations are pointed out on this tour since Beaufort has long been a favorite of Hollywood. Forrest Gump, The Big Chill and G.I. Jane were filmed here just to name a few.
