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.
