Hilton Head Island 350/30! In September of 1663, Captain William Hilton was sailing through Port Royal Sound when he spotted a headland on a nearby island. His eagle eye earned him to the honor of putting Hilton on the map, as mapmakers named the island in his honor. Thus, Hilton’s Head land became Hilton Head Island. 320 years later, Hilton Head Island became the Town of Hilton Head Island. And now, 30 years later, an anniversary blowout to commemorate both events. The Hilton Head Island-Bluffton Chamber of Commerce, the Coastal Discovery Museum, the Heritage Library Foundation and the Town of Hilton Head are all working together with a slew of area organizations to make the week-long event happen. It will kick off with a town open house Sept. 30, 2013 and culminate in a huge beach party Oct. 5, 2013, with events in between including tours of historic sites and lectures on the area. All locals and organizations are invited to participate. To be part of history, call Linda Piekut, (843) 686-6560 or lindapiekut@gmail.com or 350/30 Chair, Leslie Richardson, leslie@richardsongrp.com.
