Help Us Make It A Reality
The Plantersville
Cultural Complex
A Project by The Village Group
The Village Group is launching a $5.9 million capital campaign to fund the development of the Plantersville Cultural Complex, a 10-acre community campus rooted in the Gullah Geechee heritage and designed to deliver transformational impact in rural Georgetown County. This initiative builds on 20 years of service in youth development, food justice, economic development and education.
With the land secured, design in progress, and deep community engagement, now is the time to invest in a vision that preserves culture, promotes sustainability, and uplifts generations.

The history of Gullah culture in Georgetown, SC
Plantersville has one of the few intact cultural landscapes left in the Lowcountry. As African Americans purchased large swaths of land after Emancipation, many communities formed into self-sufficient and distinct “villages.” These villages still exist today.
