Who we are
Hogg Hammock is the last intact Geechee/Gullah Community in the Sea Islands of Georgia and is comprised of direct descendants of slaves that were brought to Sapelo in 1802. Geechee/Gullah* people still maintain many elements of the unique West African culture, language, and traditions brought over from the “Rice Coast” many other of their ancestors continued on to the isolated Sea Islands from South Carolina to Northern Florida.
