Berkeley County Moncks Corner, SC
Today Lewisfield Plantation is privately owned by the Dennis family. The plantation was built around 1744. Throughout the property the cash crop of rice was planted in the flooded fields, which was harvested as a source of revenue for the owners.
Today the rice fields are still there but no longer serve the purpose for growing rice. The fields today are planted with corn and flooded and serve as duck impoundments. This historic site today is somewhat difficult to personally visit since the property is privately owned.
