"Robbers Row"
After the occupation of Hilton Head,
a civilian town grew up to serve the
needs of the large Union base and
its garrison here. The town boasted
a hotel, a theater, 2 newspapers, and
numerous stores, centering along a
street, officially Suttlers Row, which
ran east from this point about ½ mile
to the army tent encampment.
Marker is on Fort Walker Drive, on the right when traveling north.
