Wampee
Plantation
- Location: Pinopolis, South Carolina
- Est: 1822
Another
unique piece of history in Berkley County can be found in the back yard of
the small community of Pinopolis, SC.
With the plantation home being built in 1822 it has endured the Civil War
and the creation of Lake Moultrie. The
house was originally constructed on a 1000 acre grant along with a few other plantation
homes that were victims to the extreme flooding of Pinopolis with the
development of Santee Cooper hydroelectric power plant that generates power
across the coast.
A
large amount of renovation has been done to the house since originally being
built. The house along with the property
surrounding has exchange hands of ownership over the years and is currently
owned by Santee Cooper and used a conference center for the company.
Interesting
enough rumors of many believe the Wampee house to be most haunted place in
Berkley County. Ghost Hunters of
Charleston conducted a study of a couple nights while on the property but
little was discovered to make fact of the rumors over the years by residents
who were allowed to stay in the house from time to time.
