Seabrook Village

Seabrook Village Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to research, education, and the authentic portrayal of the Reconstruction culture and environment of its rural African-American community in coastal Georgia from 1865-1930.

Seabrook Village is totally authentic. The interpretation comes from community families whose roots go back over 150 years… from slavery, through the devastation left in the wake of Sherman’s “March to the Sea,” through the first days of freedom and land ownership, and finally, to establishing success. It is a true story of courage, dignity, hope, tenacity, self-determination, and pride, told by those who lived it.

Seeing is believing and doing is knowing. Students and visitors of all ages agree that Seabrook’s unusual site, its interactive programs and its lively discussions make learning inspirational and fun. Seabrook’s unique, award-winning educational programs are level-specific for grades K-12 and for post-graduate students. Other programs cover history, folklore, restoration, architecture, crafts and found art.
