Seashore Farmers' Lodge No. 767

The Seashore Farmers' Lodge No. 767 is an historic building in coastal South Carolina that was erected to house a fraternal lodge for African-Americans. The Lodge was built about 1915 by local black farmers. Their organization provided insurance, advice, and burial assistance to members, and the structure was the headquarters for the outfit. In 1953, a new pavilion opened at nearby Mosquito Beach, and the Lodge fell into disuse.
