Things To Do
Historic Old Towne Bluffton
Bluffton is a quaint, charming, coastal town whose name refers to its location atop a scenic bluff along the May River. Antebellum homes, historic churches and unique shops rest along the oak-lined streets of Bluffton’s downtown historic district, offering a taste of Lowcountry living. The feeling in town often referred to as “A Bluffton State of Mind” is apparent as you explore unique artisan shops, galleries, restaurants and boutiques. Everything is a short stroll away. Read on for our favorites.
Experiences
HISTORIC WALKING TOUR To get the backstory on Bluffton and how it became the artsy and eccentric riverside retreat it is today, visit the Heyward House in Old Bluffton. Built in 1841, the farmhouse serves as a museum and the town's welcome center. Pick up a walking map of the one-square-mile Historic District, featuring the most prominent historical sites, among them the distinct Church of the Cross. CALHOUN STREET ARTS DISTRICT Bluffton's free-spirited arts district is on Calhoun Street. You'll want to check out Pluff Mud Art, the Maye River Gallery and the Filling Station Art Gallery among others, including The Store housed in an old mercantile built in 1904. BLUFFTON OYSTER COMPANY The last remaining hand-shucking house in the state, the family-run Bluffton Oyster Company is worth a visit just to stand on ground created by the discarded shells of oysters shucked over the last 200 years. Bluffton Oyster Company, opened in 1899 at the end of Wharf Street.
