3 Best Sights in Hilton Head and the Low Country, South Carolina

Established in 1862, the Penn Center was the first school for African Americans in the American South. It's now the centerpiece of the Reconstruction Era National Monument, which demonstrates the life and struggles of African Americans in the decades after the Civil War. The York W. Bailey Museum here has displays on the Gullah culture and heritage on the Sea Islands, and the beautiful, live oak-shaded grounds host seasonal events, including a bi-weekly Saturday farmer's market, and the Center remains an active advocate for human rights through its programs and exhibits.

An authentic drive-in experience, Highway 21 Drive In is a charming throwback that's fun for the whole family. Showing a variety of classic movies and recent hits, the family-owned facility has been attracting crowds for nearly 25 years. The old-school concessions stand has everything from popcorn and candy to burgers and corn dogs as well as funnel cakes and root beer floats. Even the ticket prices are a nod to another time, and include double features on two screens. It’s totally worth the trip for this slice of nostalgia to see "where the stars come out at night."

Taking a tour of this unique kazoo factory is a fun and informative experience; you even get to make your own kazoo at the end.
