About Seabrook Village and Living History Museum

Seabrook Village is an African-American cultural museum on the Georgia coast that presents the lives of landowning freedmen between 1865 and 1930. Its story is drawn from oral accounts shared by community families. Most of its buildings, land, and artifacts were donated by collectors and local residents. The main site includes restored structures such as a one-room school, a depot, and farm homes, and it hosts events like cane grinding, syrup making, and Country Christmas. The foundation also oversees the nearby Martha Randolph Stevens Park, known as The Landing, which is being restored for public use after vandalism. Its educational programs are designed for students from kindergarten through post-graduate study.
