Old House Plantation Tour April 29, 2009

This tour begins at the Coastal Discovery Museum. There, an overview of the southern Plantation is presented. Afterward, proceed by car to the off-island home site of Thomas Heyward, Jr. The plantation house no longer exists, but a discussion and overview will be given of plantation life as it was at that particular site. Mr. Heyward was a rice plantation owner and signer of the Declaration of Independence and his history is an interesting history of this particular area.
