Description
Located in the southern Santee Delta region of South Carolina, Hampton Plantation State Historic Site is home to the remote, final remnants of a colonial-era rice plantation. The unrestored but preserved plantation now serves as an interpretive site for the system of slavery and rice cultivation in the region from the colonial period through the end of the Civil War. Hampton inspired the works of South Carolina’s first poet laureate, Archibald Rutledge—the last private owner of the house, who lived there until 1969. The site is a National Historic Landmark.
