About the event
Today, Rose Hill Plantation State Historic Site is a place to learn about important themes and key events in South Carolina’s history: the cotton boom and its collapse, secession and Civil War, slavery and sharecropping, emancipation and the fight for civil rights and Reconstruction and its violent overthrow. The site provides visitors with opportunities to discover these significant stories through the perspectives of people who lived at Rose Hill, including William Henry Gist and his family, enslaved people, freed people and tenant farmers.
We will take a guided tour of the historic mansion – home of “Secession Governor” William Henry Gist and his family during the 1800s
Following the tour, you are welcome to explore the grounds, and nearby hiking trails
