Flowering plants, like this Southern Magnolia, are remnant of historic ornamental gardens once enjoyed by former farm owners and still marveled over by modern visitors.

Snee Farm, once owned by Charles Pinckney, was a working farm for over 200 years. This corn crib, built in 1910, is one of the few remaining structures of a bygone era.

Charles Pinckney was a principal author and signer of the United States Constitution. This remnant of his coastal plantation is preserved to tell the story of a "founding father," his life of public service, the lives of enslaved African Americans on South Carolina Lowcountry plantations and their influences on Charles Pinckney.
