Arcadia Plantation, Historic plantation in Georgetown County, US.
The estate features a two-story clapboard structure with a brick basement, complemented by two flanking wings and terraced gardens extending toward the Waccamaw River.
Built in 1794 as Prospect Hill Plantation, the property underwent significant modifications in 1906 when Captain Isaac Edward Emerson, creator of Bromo-Seltzer, acquired it.
The plantation encompasses multiple buildings including a frame church, tenant houses, and two cemeteries that illustrate the social structure of historical South Carolina.
Located 5 miles east of Georgetown off U.S. Route 17, the property maintains its original structures while providing access to educational tours by appointment.
The estate includes early 20th-century recreational amenities such as tennis courts and a bowling alley, demonstrating the evolution from agricultural to leisure purposes.
