Worth the visit for history loving folk
Very informative, beautiful location, strolling through the grounds and reading the signage was a nice way to spend a couple of hours.

Wonderful Colonial Historical Site
My husband and I visited Old House and Thomas Heyward, Jr Tomb, a former colonial-era plantation. Thomas Heyward, Jr was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. The beautiful grounds along the salt marsh and majestic oak trees make it an awesome place to visit. I highly recommend detouring off I95 to include it in your trip.

Such a beautiful spot It was cooler by the river, and there was a great picnic pavilion there. It was well worth the stop to learn the history of the area.
