| Hopsewee Plantation, SC |
The owners live in the home so it has a warm and friendlier feeling than most historic home tours. The owners are active participants in the running of the property and restaurant. We had an informative tour and were allowed to explore the basement and attic although I wasn't able to take pictures inside the building.
Hopsewee Plantation: Built circa 1740, some 40 years before the American Revolutionary War, Hopsewee Plantation was one of the South's major rice plantations and the birthplace of Thomas Lynch, Jr., one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence.

I see you found a joggling board.
Built in 1740, still standing, and in use! Amazing and wonderful. Thank you for the nice series of photographs - very well done and enjoyable. Hopsewee is now on my list of places to visit.
I collect images of them :). I have one of my own now.
It is lovely. The tea room is good and the tour was enjoyable. In the summer be sure to take bug spray. They host giant mosquitoes.
A beautiful property!
Do Tell JP the story of the Joggling Board. Perhaps thee are many?
