Wicklow Hall Plantation, Historic plantation in Georgetown County, South Carolina
Wicklow Hall Plantation is a Greek Revival structure in Georgetown County featuring a two-story wooden main house with multiple outbuildings arranged across the grounds. The complex includes a kitchen, carriage house, schoolhouse, corn crib, and stable that formed the working parts of the property.
The main house was built between 1831 and 1840 and served as a major rice production center managed by the Lowndes family. The property gained National Register of Historic Places recognition in 1978.
The arrangement of buildings reflects how plantation life was organized, with distinct spaces for family living and daily work activities that visitors can still observe in their original layout.
The property is located along South Carolina Highway 30 south of Georgetown and is accessible by car. Some buildings can be viewed from the exterior, though interior access may be limited depending on current conditions.
The property preserves a complete working infrastructure with specialized buildings like a corn crib and dedicated schoolhouse that reveal how larger plantations were self-contained communities. These functional structures are uncommon to find today, offering a rare window into everyday operations.
