Auldbrass Plantation

Wright's modern-day rendering of a Southern plantation was bought by Hollywood producer Joel Silver and restored by the architect's grandson, Eric Lloyd Wright.

Reviewed By Susan642013 - Newnan, United States

Only open for one weekend every other year, it is well worth some planning to make a tour possible. A fabulous historical gem! I am so thankful for the wealthy, Joel Silver, for taking an interest in preserving and now even planning to complete Frank Loyd Wright’s vision for this beautiful low country site. If you have seen other Frank Loyd Wright buildings and/or houses or have never seen any, you will be amazed at this design and plan for this modern plantation. Put it on your calendar for 2021!

Drayton Hall

Circa 1738, Drayton Hall is the oldest unrestored plantation house in America still open to the public.

Reviewed By TurtleGirlGonzales - Dallas, United States

This is a must do for those interested in history, architecture etc. House is original, having survived the American Revolution and the Civil War--quite moving. Tour Guide Mary Jo? Mary Lou? was knowledgeable, interesting and lots of fun! It is empty and the impact of that is profound. It is preserved, not restored. To walk the same staircase as Cornwallis? Amazing! Take your time here, walk the African American cemetery near the entrance gates as well.

Unitarian Church in Charleston

Reviewed By Adventure_Advisor

The day we were there two docents who took the time to show us around the church and grounds. We learned much about the history of the church and Charleston. The graveyard is the most scenic and interesting of all. A nighttime visit courtesy of a ghost tour was very informative.
