Exploring Lesser Known Hilton Head Island Areas - Climbing A Lighthouse / Old Ruins / Historic Fort

Exploring Hilton Head Island South Carolina

[@mikenenes]

Been home since March 2020 taking care of my 80-year-old grandmother and my diabetic niece. Your videos help me very much mentally because I used to travel everywhere with friends before the 🦠 started, and for that I’d like to say THANK YOU. 👍👍

[@suzanneflowers2230]

God bless you for being their main caregiver. I feel the same way about Adam's videos.

[@angelakellam925]

My grandparents bought property there on Broad Creek back in the 60's, spent every summer of my life there until 79 when my dad retired from the Navy and we moved there. It was so different back then.

[@janislyn58]

While watching this it dawned on me what a beautiful and fascinating country we live it. History can be found anywhere you go. You are teaching me to slow down and look around. You never know what you may find. Thank you.

Radom Fact: True tabby is made of equal parts lime, water, sand, oyster shells, and ash. The ash is a byproduct of preparing the lime, but its presence contributes to the hardening of the end product. Which is why you can see the shells in the constuction

[@samosasosa6684]

That's kitchen midden from the Indians that were there before. All the by valves and such is the dead give away. In Florida we paved the streets before asphalt with midden.

Went to Hilton head for 2 vacation days back in 1997 the one thing that stuck out in my mind was how impeccably manicured all of the grass, bushes and vegetation was. Very pristine landscape never seen anything like it to this day.

[@gregprince2523]

Glad you're traveling again Adam! love to see small town backwater America before it's all forgotten!!

[@Warjacki]

I stayed in Hilton Head in 2019 and visited the Stoney Baynard ruins and Fort Howell. If I remember the information correctly, the smaller buildings between the main house and the chimney were slave quarters. The chimney was part of a kitchen, the walls of which were torn down by union soldiers to make platforms for their tents.

[@trishsp3160]

I love this kind of touring. My friend and I used to take trips like this. We hope to get back to it. Thanks, Adam for showing these treasures.

[@SplorinRyan]

The area between Savannah and St John's Island just outside of Charleston are some of the best exploring areas of the country. This will no doubt be some great stuff over the coming days

[@GregsVlog]

Let’s go…

[@Phillyguy316]

I visited Cumberland Island last summer and saw the tiny chapel where John F Kennedy Jr. was married.

[@dennisreeder754]

Just take us 17 north to myrtle. Amazing history.

[@merfwriter]

I've been to Hilton Head, South Carolina one time back in the 90's. You should go to Daufuskie Island. The only way you can get there is by Farrie and you have to leave your car back at the parking lot near the dock of the Farrie. Once your on the Island you can only driving around the island on a golf cart. There's not much to do there. There are private summer homes people have there. It might be fun to explore Daufuskie Island on the golf car or walk around.

[@hyperactive22001]

When I was a kid, I remember a legend surrounding the Baynard family crypt. For a long time, the door on the crypt would not stay on. The coffins inside would lay askew. The crypt would need repair often. Many offered supernatural explanations based on darker side of family history. SC lore is as old as the land it seems.

[@thehansenfamily2319]

We have never been to Hilton Head. We sit here watching the video and imagining people living there back in the old days. We also love the informational signs. We need to take a family trip to Hilton Head. Awesome video and thank you.

[@raeanddad7421]

Great tour of the area Adam. We were told about the story of the "Blue Lady" haunting the lighthouse by locals when visiting. Amazing stories about her, and there are still regular sightings by residents.

[@shihtzubradley.5990]

Thankyou for the recent awesome videos woo. I look forward to watching them when I wake up from my night shifts I am on at moment. Appreciate your work.

[@coreyjacobs5688]

Loving the trip, Adam. If you ever make your way back through Brunswick/St.Marys/Kingsland,GA area, I recommend Jekyll and Cumberland Islands, a ton of Historical value there.

[@kryptism]

Hell yeah!

[@markwalters76]

You were soooo close to Daufuskie Island!!! You were looking at it was you were panning around the Sound from the Harbor Town Lighthouse. It is such a cool island with lots of history. It is a true back roads adventure. A must stop at some point. Thanks for sharing your adventures!

[@timandtammytime]

Enjoyed this! Love the trees in that part of the country, especially the ancient, giant oaks! Gonna take a trip to see that cemetery one day!

[@kevinconaway1727]

What a beautiful place Hilton Head is Adam, come summer I'm guessing it'll be a lot busier, the view from the lighthouse 👍🏻, lots of history, good to see its been looked after, Thankyou really enjoy the vlog

[@Jeannified]

I love Hilton Head! Only visited once, when I drover over from where I lived in Atlanta. However, I loved it. Very natural and mellow. Peaceful place, for sure!

[@sharonproctor4079]

Love old cemetarys. You can learn a lot reading the grave stones. One I visited up in Northern Vermont New Hampshire, had a long line of stones in a line big to very small. It was a whole family down to small children and baby. Died in the big influenza pandemic early 1900's. Sad to read their names and ages.

[@contessalouannec8064]

Great A hidden gem of Hilton Head. Let's Go! Now that is an old tree. GREAT Tour Thank You.

[@caraw73]

So excited to see you exploring South Carolina! You need to come to Charleston, it is such a beautiful city, it's literally a living museum. I am SoCal native now living here and it's one of my favorite cities, as well as Savannah. Charleston was destroyed by an earthquake, too in the late 1800's.

[@suzanneflowers2230]

Check out those pictures from 1886 online. Charleston is indeed beautiful!

[@wendyb457]

Wow. Thank you so much. I live in GA. Have never ventured up to Hilton Head due to how crowded it can be and access to markers is not so easy. It’s stunningly beautiful. I shall go. Based on this. Again, wow!

[@ogdisneydiva7462]

Thank you so much for this video. I love History and learning about the Fort and the African American Union soldiers was wonderful. I love seeing our history celebrated and preserved in lessor known places and I’ve always been curious about the Carolinas and the Gullah culture.

[@TheJustinRothShow]

Very cool to see you exploring Hilton Head. I used to live next door in the Bluffton area however I now reside in Ohio where it's entirely too cold. I hope to eventually move back to the south

[@daved.1416]

Another fanatstic tour Adam. A delightful journey into some historic sites while enjoying my piping hot cafenated beverage. Thankyou so much Adam :) Stay safe and as always can not wait to see more!

[@Ralphinsc]

Awesome! I have been coming to Hilton Head throughout my lifetime, and a few of these places are definitely places I have never gone to. And sorry about the lack of access. All that money down there sure likes to keep people gated out and locked away from half of the island. I kept wondering what kind of great content you could find in such a ritzy and touristy place, and you came through wonderfully! I really look forward to seeing more of you exploring my home state in the coming days.

[@JoeJoyHaveLanded]

This was so great. We loved that you showed the statue Out For Lunch. John Seward Johnson II is one of Joe's favorite sculptures so it was great to see one of his pieces of art that we did not know of on Hilton Head. You showed one of his most popular statues in TDW 500 when you showed Unconditional Surrender. Plus it made us happy to see that you went to the Stoney Baynard Ruins and Baynard's grave.

[@DenitaArnold]

Very interesting and historical tour. Thanks for taking us along

[@annegallagher4005]

Thank you Adam for showing us the history markers aswell, so we can stop the video and have a bonus history lesson! See you tomorrow!

[@JamesBlackburnExperience]

[@markreardon3472]

Another fantabulous video covering your days adventures. Appreciate the share! Two Thumbz 👍👍

The bridge over the moat in the woods reminds me of the Dark Knight scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail! "Just a flesh wound!" LOL! Great vlog Adam... I love these historical places! Safe travels!

[@Thayer2000]

Awesome! Wonderful video and tour of Hilton Head and information.

[@theathjr]

[@mustangcindy1303]

Yay you showed the lighthouses!! I love lighthouses ❤️❤️❤️ I need to get up to Hilton Head sometime and see them both with my own eyes. Those roads with the canopy of trees are so pretty. Notice there’s a lot of history on that island and I love historical places.

[@charissatroup5611]

Freedman’s Village is where a many many run away slaves found refuge & could live free. The US Army occupied & held Hilton Head Island pretty early in the Civil War & held it. Allowing the black residents to be safe from the Confederacy. Hilton Head Island has a fascinating history.

[@jojojo6147]

Nice vlog Adam. Brought back memories.

[@jclelache7694]

Have to get back there!! Love Hilton Head!! 👍🏻

[@mobiltec]

12:58 TABBY BUILT (from wiki) Tabby is a type of concrete made by burning oyster shells to create lime, then mixing it with water, sand, ash and broken oyster shells. Tabby was used by early Spanish settlers in present-day North Carolina and Florida, then by British colonists primarily in coastal South Carolina and Georgia. It is a man-made analogue of coquina, a naturally-occurring sedimentary rock derived from shells and also used for building.

[@davidpierce6924]

love this channel thanks

[@GuitarlordJohnBurton]

These videos are tops brother. Probably your best work.

[@shanew.williams]

When i was a child in the 1960's we would vacation every summer at Hilton Head. One year we rented the beachfront home that was once used in the filming of the movie "The Ghost and Mrs.Muir." Quite a charming house.

[@kimberlyshalaby1134]

I like seeing the history.

[@lotharfunke8749]

Live part time right down the road from the fort. Love it here.

[@stephen1982]

Awesome like always

[@0wnYourWorld]

Good stuff! When I see those informational plaques with the raised letters I picture someone hand painting each letter.

[@brendakrieger7000]

Very nice! RIP Lighthouse keepers💔💙

[@CartoonFinder]

I've been to Hilton Head last summer! It was fun!

[@daronmarkley826]

I want to say Adam the whole area well at least what you showed is beyond gorgeous and the view from the lighthouse was breathtaking and I thought if you were still using it the Majestic would have been great to fly in that area also it’s those awesome placards and you reading them made for one heck of a historical learning experience and this whole day was jus plain fun now with that being said peace ☮️ love ❤️ and happiness to you Adam and I’ll see you on the next Adams Big Adventure wherever it takes you also please be safe out there also thanks for keeping history alive
