Magnolia Plantation
Fountainhead of the Drayton family, which
played so important a part in America's
Colonial, Revolutionary, and Independence
history. Its original plantation house, credited
by contemporary historians as having been
the earliest in the Carolina colony, along
with its famous garden, now America's oldest,
were built by Thomas Drayton in the 1680's.
It remains a working plantation utilizing
scores of workers, and is still owned and
operated by a direct family descendent.
