Mulberry Plantation, Historic plantation in Kershaw County, United States
The main Federal period brick house rises three and a half stories on a high point near the Wateree River, surrounded by 4,800 acres of land.
The site dates back to 1250 CE and was the location of Cofitachequi, a Native American chiefdom visited by explorer Hernando de Soto in the 16th century.
Mary Boykin Chesnut wrote extensive diary accounts from this plantation during the Civil War, providing important documentation of Confederate life between 1860 and 1865.
The plantation includes three preserved outbuildings from the 1800s: a servant cottage with modern additions and two log barns connected by an oak-lined carriage lane.
Archaeological excavations at the McDowell Site within the plantation revealed platform mounds and artifacts from pre-colonial Native American settlements.
