Travel Today - Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

This week on Travel Today with Peter Greenberg, we head to Hilton Head Island in South Carolina. Peter checks out everything from jazz in the downtown corridor to the shrimp boat feasts on the docks of the Calibogue sound, and, of course…golf.

Joining Peter this week is Bob Masteller, owner of The Jazz Corner complete with an in-studio trumpet serenade; Mayor John Lockhart talks about the constant struggle between his commitment to the environment and further development of the island. Author Olivia Stiffler shares her love of the island through her poetry. And then there’s real local: a talk with Chef David Young about his favorite South Carolina recipes, along with his signature homemade corn bread.

Also joining us is lifelong Hilton Head Resident Emory Campbell, chair Emeritus of the Penn Center-and principal of Gullah Heritage. He shares the history of the Gullah people who have preserved more of their African linguistic and cultural heritage than any other black community in the U.S.
