Pin Point (population under 200), founded by freed slaves and still a stronghold of Geechee culture, is best known as the birthplace of Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas. But that’s not the only reason to notice this little village. In 2011, the Pin Point Heritage Museum opened in the former A.S. Varn & Son Oyster & Crab Factory.
