Past Lane Plus is an extension of Past Lane Travels, a history/travel blog. Past Lane Plus features extra photos of historical sites.
If you visit Myrtle Beach and enjoy visiting historic sites, I highly recommend driving south to Hopsewee Plantation near Georgetown, S.C.
Hopsewee was the home of Thomas Lynch Jr., one of the youngest signers of the Declaration of Independence.
He and his father both served in the Continental Congress, but his father was too ill at the time to sign the Declaration. They were the only father and son to serve in that capacity.
You can read the full post on Hopsewee Plantation, or just look at the pictures here! No interior photos were permitted, but the full post on Past Lane Travels describes each room.
Hopsewee, amazingly, has two surviving slaves quarters that are used to showcase the reality of life on a rice plantation.
When you’re done touring the grounds, Hopsewee Plantation has a beautiful Tea Room called the River Oak Cottage that serves tea as well as lowcountry cuisine.
I have dozens of pictures of the old live oak trees, but here are just a few!
A few more photos from the Tea Room and the gift shop. Love those earrings!
