Tombee Plantation, Historic plantation in St Helena Island, US.

Tombee Plantation is a two-story, T-shaped frame dwelling built about 1790–1800 on St. Helena Island near Frogmore. It is sheathed in clapboard under a gable roof, with a single-story front portico on four square columns and a two-story balustraded rear porch carrying six square columns on each floor.

Tombee Plantation was built about 1790–1800 as a two-story, T-shaped frame dwelling on St. Helena Island. During the Port Royal Experiment in 1862 the property was divided into tracts, and it stayed in the hands of descendants of freed slaves until 1971. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.

The name Tombee is tied to the property's history on St. Helena Island, where the house stands near Frogmore. After the 1862 Port Royal Experiment divided the plantation into tracts, the land stayed with descendants of freed slaves until 1971, so the house marks a post-emancipation landholding story as much as an antebellum one.

Tombee Plantation stands on St. Helena Island near Frogmore, in Beaufort County, South Carolina. The house is a private dwelling and is not open as a museum, so visitors see it from the road; the property passed from descendants of freed slaves only in 1971.
