Mount Pleasant Historic District

Mount Pleasant Historic District is a neighborhood with buildings from the colonial era through the early 1900s, showing Federal, Georgian, and Victorian styles side by side. Walking through, you see how the town developed over time, with older homes next to later additions.

The district was settled during colonial times and grew into a key residential area of Mount Pleasant. It gained National Register recognition because its buildings show how the town changed and developed over centuries.

The district connects to the Gullah/Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor, reflecting the long history of African American communities in South Carolina. You can sense this heritage through the buildings and how people still use the spaces today.

You can walk through the district at your own pace, with informational plaques on buildings explaining the history of specific structures and sites. The area is easy to navigate and works well for a leisurely stroll to take in the different buildings.

The Scanlonville Cemetery within the district holds burial sites of important figures who shaped Mount Pleasant across different eras. It is a quiet place that preserves the stories of people who influenced how the town developed.
