Geechee Kunda Cultural Arts Center

Geechee Kunda Cultural Arts Center and Museum, located at 622 Ways Temple Road in Riceboro, Georgia, stands as a vital institution dedicated to preserving and showcasing the rich heritage of the Geechee Gullah people. Founded by visionary couple Jim and Pat Bacote, this 501c3 charitable nonprofit has become an international attraction offering an authentic Geechee Gullah culturally natural environment. The museum houses an extraordinary collection of artifacts spanning from the 1700s through the Jim Crow era, bridging the profound divide between Africa and Georgia. Visitors can explore original historical relics, authentic memorabilia, and modern exhibits that tell the compelling story of African diasporic resilience. The center serves multiple purposes, providing venues for filming, reenactments, gatherings, weddings, conferences, and retreats. Led by Creative Director Dr. Jamal Toure and Education Director Gregory Grant, the team offers educational tours and cultural programming that brings history to life. Currently closed due to COVID-19, Geechee Kunda continues its mission to connect the past with the present, welcoming visitors to experience this unique cultural treasure in the heart of Liberty County. Donations support necessary renovations, museum displays, and educational programming.
