Cassina Garden Club Tabby Cabins 1195 Arthur J. Moore Drive, Saint Simons Island, Georgia 31522
The tabby slave cabins at Gascoigne Bluff will be open to the public for guided educational tours by the Cassina Garden Club docents between 10:00 a.m. and noon on March 7, April 4 and 25, May 2 and 16. The cabins were built by slaves in the early 1800s and used by house slaves who lived and worked on Hamilton Plantation. In 1932, Cassina Garden Club began using the slave cabins as a meeting place, and in 1950 the county deeded the property and cabins to them. The club’s mission has been to restore and preserve the integrity of the slave cabins. In 1988, the historic property was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Cassina welcomes requests for private tours. A $5 per adult donation is suggested. A short tutorial video welcomes you to this historic location. For more information visit cassinagardenclub.org.
