One of the first established schools for freed slaves in the area. The campus has a museum, gift shop and lots of historical information. Walking tours are available weather permitting.

Today, it is one of the most significant African American historical and cultural institutions in existence and continues to be committed to the preservation of the Gullah Geechee culture.

Penn Center, formerly Penn School, was one of the first schools in the country to educate freed slaves. Today, it is one of the foremost institutions dedicated to the preservation of African American history and culture - more specifically the Gullah Culture of the Sea Islands. Interestingly, Penn Center was a retreat place for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in the 1960s.
