History of the Robert Smalls House:
Robert Smalls was born a slave in a cabin near the rear of the property. In 1862, Smalls commandeered a side-wheeler and transported his family and 12 others through Union lines to freedom. With his reward money, Smalls purchased his former master?s home. He became one of South Carolina?s most prominent African-Americans, serving in the State Senate and House of Representatives, U.S. Congress, and as Customs Collector of the Port of Beaufort. In recognition of his remarkable life and career, Congress designated the house a National Historic Landmark in 1975. (Beaufort, HBF, 2003)
