Redcliffe Plantation State Historic Site, Antebellum plantation state historic site in Beech Island, South Carolina.
The Greek Revival mansion rises among magnolia trees planted in 1861, with original slave quarters illustrating the complex social dynamics of the 19th century.
James Henry Hammond, a South Carolina governor, constructed this plantation in 1859, marking a significant period before the American Civil War.
The site preserves stories of both the Hammond family owners and the Henley family, who transitioned from enslaved workers to paid employees after emancipation.
Guided tours of the mansion and slave quarters operate Thursday through Monday, while the 369-acre grounds include a 1.7-mile hiking trail.
The plantation maintains educational programs focused on the transformation from slavery through Reconstruction to the Jim Crow era.
