Soldiers, rebels, and rumrunners all found their place in history here as great battles, fires, and hurricanes played out over time. Through centuries of change, Tybee has remained one of the South's most popular resorts. Local historian and preservationist Robert A. Ciucevich spent his summers growing up in the Collins Cottage on Tybee's Back River. A member of the Tybee Island Historical Society and the Georgia Historical Society, among others, he is active in recording and studying Tybee's unique heritage.
