Alfonso Beatty, with the Cedar Hill/West Bank Heritage Foundation, stands outside of Reaves Chapel in Navassa. The site is one of several culturally significant ones near a proposed Gullah Geechee Heritage Trail. The area running from Southport to Navassa offers a host of historical and environmental gems that area leaders want the public to be able to access easily, gain from educationally and enjoy physically. A proposed trail to commemorate the legacy of the Gullah Geechee people in Brunswick County is part of a larger effort to bring more cultural and recreational opportunities to visitors and residents alike.
