Redcliffe Plantation State Historic Site - Daily Tours

Take a guided tour with a Ranger at Redcliffe Plantation State Historic Site. Redcliffe Plantation, completed in 1859, was once the home of James Henry Hammond, three generations of his descendants, and numerous African-American families like the Henleys, Goodwins, and Wigfalls who worked at the site as enslaved laborers and later as free men and women. Just one of several historic plantations South Carolina is known for, Redcliffe provides a setting for exploring the experiences of the enslaved, as well as the larger institution of slavery and reflects the historical experiences and impact of the white and black families who lived and worked at the site. The extant slave quarters, mansion, and iconic lane of magnolia trees planted in 1861 serve to highlight the plantation’s rich and varied history. Redcliffe is currently offering “open house” style tours with limited access to the slave quarters and mansion.

 Guided Tours are available Thursday-Monday at 11, 1, and 3.
