Mulberry Plantation

Location: Moncks Corner, SC
Western Branch of the Cooper River

Est. Late 1600's

Another unique place to add to the visit list is Mulberry Plantation.  Located between Moncks Corner and Charleston, this property was developed in 1714 by Thomas Broughton, who became the Royal governor of South Carolina, and is one of the oldest plantation homes in the United States.  Its rice fields, dikes and canals were well preserved into the 20th century.  The plantation is privately owned to this date.
