Professionally Guided House Tour September 4, 2009

If these walls could talk... Guides will introduce you to a house that has survived for over 265 years -- the only 18th-century plantation house on the Ashley River to survive intact to present day. Examine the architectural details-the mahogany swags, the hand-carved molding, the plaster ceilings-that make the house renowned. Meet the families -- both white and black -- who lived and worked here for generations. Learn about the preservation efforts that keep this house in near original condition today. Tours last approximately 30-60 minutes and begin on the hour.
