Yesterday Meg & I headed to Union, about an hour from here, to visit this plantation that I’d heard about many times, but had never been to. We started the day out walking part way around the nature trail, until we got as far as the ruins of a tenant house that was once on the property. Interesting information there, too.
We had made a plan to meet Lindee & go out to eat lunch, since she works in Union – I had never even seen the nursing home where she works before. We ate some great Mexican food, and then Meg & I got back to the plantation in time to go on the guided tour. It was so interesting – the park ranger was just a wealth of information. Rose Hill Plantation was the home of William Gist, known as the Secession Governor of South Carolina. One of my favorite artifacts in the house was the family Bible.
