A Glimpse into Plantation Life

Established in the 18th century, Once Upon a Time on Plantation was a successful rice plantation that played a pivotal role in the economic and social life of the Lowcountry. The plantation's sprawling fields were cultivated by enslaved Africans, and the bountiful harvests became a source of great wealth for its owners. The plantation complex itself was a microcosm of the antebellum South, with a majestic manor house, slave quarters, stables, and other outbuildings necessary for daily life.

Today, visitors can gain a glimpse into the daily lives of those who lived on the plantation. The meticulously restored manor house showcases period furniture, artwork, and artifacts that offer a tangible connection to the past. The original slave quarters have also been preserved and provide a poignant reminder of the complex history and struggles that unfolded on these grounds.

Architectural Masterpieces

Once Upon a Time on Plantation is not only a historical treasure but also a showcase of architectural excellence. The grand manor house, with its graceful columns, intricate moldings, and sweeping verandas, is a prime example of antebellum architecture. Its spacious rooms, high ceilings, and large windows create a sense of elegance and grandeur that transports visitors back in time.

In addition to the main house, the plantation complex features a variety of outbuildings, each with its own unique architectural charm. The stables, carriage house, and servants' quarters are all carefully preserved and provide insights into the functional aspects of plantation life. The plantation's lush gardens, with their manicured lawns, vibrant flowerbeds, and towering trees, further enhance the estate's beauty and tranquility.

The People Behind the Legacy

Over the centuries, Once Upon a Time on Plantation has been home to a cast of remarkable characters who shaped its history and legacy. Among them was Eliza Lucas Pinckney, a pioneering planter who is credited with introducing indigo to the colony of South Carolina. Her son, Charles Pinckney, was a statesman and signer of the U.S. Constitution. Another notable resident was Rebecca Motte, a Revolutionary War heroine who used wax from her candle to light the fuse that set fire to a British ship, forcing its surrender.

The stories of these individuals and countless others are interwoven into the fabric of Once Upon a Time on Plantation. Through guided tours and educational exhibits, visitors can learn about their lives, contributions, and the impact they had on the plantation and beyond.
