McLeod Plantation Historic Site, Former plantation museum in James Island, Charleston, United States
The McLeod Plantation Historic Site spans 37 acres and includes a main house, six slave cabins, a kitchen house, and a 600-year-old oak tree.
The plantation, established in 1851, served as a Confederate hospital and later housed the 55th Massachusetts Volunteer Regiment of African American soldiers during the Civil War.
The site preserves the legacy of Gullah/Geechee heritage through original structures and educational programs about enslaved people who lived and worked there.
The plantation museum operates from Tuesday through Sunday between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM, offering guided tours that explain the complex history of the site.
The grounds contain designated areas for growing sweetgrass, an essential material used in traditional Gullah basket weaving since 1993.
