The colorful history of the House of Refuge at Gilbert’s Bar continues to be written, even today!  As the result of hurricane damage sustained to the nearby shoreline in 2004, an Indian midden was uncovered on site, containing charred fish bones, fiber tempered pottery and shells used by the Ais Indians, who inhabited the area from 2000 B.C. to the 18th century.  This exciting discovery is just one way that history comes to life in the present day.
