We just happened to be passing by, we saw it’s sign and decided to stop. It was a nice place to visit. It had a few little trails to walk around. We loved seeing the large old trees and rose trees. It was worth the stop.
Beautiful and quiet. The rope that grew into a tree was cool and one of the giant trees you can see daylight through up towards the top. It's really great that people took the time and effort to reclaim this history for the public.
Absolutely lovely place. We got stuck in a down pour and sat in the rocking chairs enjoy the picturesque grounds. The volunteer grounds keeper, Dave is knowledgeable and a delight to talk to.
Peaceful and beautiful. A nice picnic area with plenty tables and space. A short trail for walking in the Nature with historical stories.
Beautiful little place related to Charles Pinckney, one of the signers of the US Constitution. Film, informative exhibits, lovely trails thru the grounds, immense magnolias covered in moss...and George Washington came for breakfast here.
This is a fabulous spot! There’s enough walking paths to satisfy the most eager hiker. The site shows the historical side of life in the Lowcountry. I live nearby and I plan to volunteer my time helping to maintain and clear more of the grounds.
It was a bummer that the visitor center and house were not available for entry when we went. The surrounding property were nice though. I would recommend Boone hall plantation across the street, it was better in most every way.
This National Historic Site is a nice trip to spend a few hours at. It's less than a half day so if you need something to do or would like to learn about a South Carolina statesmen I would recommend going. Key Notes: - It's free! - The stamp for the national park book is located in the gift shop - There is parking with restrooms right by the parking area. - There is a scheduled tour, you will meet by the bathrooms in the picnic area, starts at 11:00 am. - You can go inside the house it's not the original for some interesting historical reads, watch a short film about Charles Pinckney and to visit the gift shop. - There are a few walking trails but you will want to bring sun screen, bug spray and wear comfortable shoes during the warm months. - Great place to have a picnic - They have doggie bags to pick up waste - They have a water fountain for filling up water bottles near the bathroom - There is poison ivy so be on the lookout. They saying to remember if it's poison ivy: If you see 3 leaves let it be, if there's 5 you're fine. I would recommend going, there is a lot to learn about this South Carolinian statesmen who played a big role in the Declaration of Independence.
I didn’t go inside the house - too hot and stuff today but the grounds are beautiful! Lots of trails out in the open and through the woods through small tree tunnels. There are signs with history bites all over the property. Bathrooms are clean and there is a filtered water refill station. It is a coveted station and there are quite a few picnic tables and trash receptacles. Parking lot is a decent size maybe 15 spots. Gravel. Leashed pet dogs are welcome everywhere except inside the house.
Very interesting little home and museum with lovely little trails on the grounds. The trails are quick and easy. It's an awesome museum telling the story of an important figure in US history and it's all free. Definitely recommend. Also the young woman who worked there was friendly and knowledgeable. Not only about the museum but about local spots to try. This visitor was very appreciative.
