Nestled within the heart of historic Sapelo Island, Georgia, the Seven Sisters Heritage District will stand as a living tribute to the powerful legacy of Bilali and Phoebe Mohammed and their seven remarkable daughters — Binto, Charlotte, Fatima, Hester, Margaret, Medina, and Yoruba. From these Seven Sisters came the original 33 families of Sapelo, whose descendants continue to honor their lineage and cultural heritage on the island today.
Seven Sisters transforms ancestral land into a self-reinforcing district that is culturally grounded, economically vibrant, and ecologically regenerative.
Seven Sisters Heritage District will consist of:
✨ Hogg Hummock Artisan Market - Originally built in 1920 as Mr. Hall’s General Store, the historic building was restored and reopened after more than 55 years of inactivity as the Hogg Hummock Artisan Market.

🌿 Seven Sisters Production Farm - The Seven Sisters Production Farm will be a one-acre regenerative farm on Sapelo Island designed to advance food sovereignty through sustainable agriculture, Afro-ecology, and ancestral land-based practices.
