- You’ll hear about the cool history of Tybee, from old windmills to secret forts and even a train line that turned into Windmill Lane!
- We learn about the people who lived on Tybee long ago, including Native Americans, African Americans, and families who made the island their home.
- Jacilyn shares how food and fashion from West Africa are still part of Tybee’s culture today.
- Ever heard of a sound bath? Jacilyn explains how relaxing sounds can help your brain feel calm and creative—sometimes people even see colors or have wild dreams!
