Where I'm from

[wraithen]

No offense but that house deserves better. I hate seeing those houses without a looooong driveway and a sprawling plantation. Wish I was actually from somewhere lol. Stupid army.

Which house?   Explain yourself.

The larger white house was built on the ground you see in the pic in 1807.  I think its doing pretty damn good. 
The smaller white house with the dock was built in the early 1900s beside the larger white house.  It was put in a trailer and moved 25 miles to the river in 1978.  We kept it original and moved it with a cost greater than it's worth, to keep it how it was built. 
The slave house was built...well...during the slave time era.  It's the only house that has stood through 300+ years of hurricanes and any other natural disasters that have happened in those years. 
What else would you like?

And front porch sitting? That is very cool, how long has it been in the family? I know you made mention of 300yrs but is that your family?

I honestly have no idea when part of our family got the plantation.  I have heard stories about it that include 4 generations before mine, so a while, but not sure on exact dates and time frame. 

The large white house was bought in the 60s.

Very cool pics! The old slave house story is remarable! That is a long time to stand against the weather! Hurricanes, and SC get some horrendous thunderstorms as well! You ever go in the house and look around?

I have walked inside of it once, never again.  Was in for about 4 seconds, took a picture and then something/someone told me to get out. I listened and will not return to the inside of it.  I will try and dig up the few pics I took.

92xj I was commenting on the big house that appears to be pretty close to the neighbors. I meant that I always envision those houses being back a ways from the road with a longer driveway so you get a feel for the size of the estate. It's one of my favorite styles of house.

I grew up down south and have a sister-in-law just north of Georgetown in Litchfield.  Her husband's family has the original governor's mansion in Vance and we hunt ~1200 acres there - looks identical.  We also go to Lincolnton, GA to hunt whitetails on my brother's land ~400 acres.  I am trying to get them to come west for elk and mule deer....

That's awesome.  Spent plenty of days and more nights in Litchfield as well as Pawley's Island.  The river house and the plantation are both on the Black river down there.  You ever go out inshore fishing down there?  I grew up on a boat hammering the spottails and flounder and giggin at night around muddy bay.
