John's IslandJohnAa's Island (also spelled Aa"Johns IslandAa") is the largest Sea Island and the second largest island on the East Coast. The legendary Angel Oak, a restored 18th-century mansion, and an African American praise house are a few of the historic treasures found beyond the islandAa's wide salt marsh vistas. Its scenic roads wind along rivers under moss-draped oaks, where planters and their descendants have farmed for generations. Since new development is rapidly changing the islandAa's character, residents have collected these photographs from past generations to help preserve a disappearing way of life. |
