Hampton Plantation is both a National Historic Landmark and South Carolina State Historic Site. The Georgian-style mansion sits on 274 acres along the Wambaw Creek. This site was visited by Francis Marion shortly after Charleston was captured by the British. The Swamp Fox swam Wambaw Creek and disappeared into the rice fields on the other side to escape capture.
We spent a few hours touring the grounds, but did not get to take the mansion tour. The gardens and oaks on the property were magnificent. Great stretching point between home and Charleston.
