Hopsewee Plantation
Admission includedDraped in Spanish moss and shaded by ancient live oaks, Hopsewee Plantation sits quietly along the Black River outside Georgetown, South Carolina. The mid-18th-century main house looks much as it did when it was built, offering a tangible connection to the colonial Low Country that few historic sites can match. Hopsewee Plantation is best known as the birthplace of Thomas Lynch Jr., a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Walking the grounds, you sense the rhythm of a rice-plantation world that shaped an entire region.
