Where I Grew Up

I grew up in quite a different world than most of You. Sweetfeet was interested in the picture I posted of moss hanging from the trees. If you will Google "William Seabrook Plantation" you can see pictures of the Island. Our farm was land that was once part that plantation. My Grandparents bought and moved into the overseers house. The Caretakers son was the same age as my older brother and we would go over and play and have the run of the place. See what you think.

Thats some pretty land and a very high end area now. Must have been a wonderful place to have grown up around. There are still many wonderful farms on the way to Seabrook and Kiawaha island. I am assuming that Seabrook Plantation was on or near Seabrook Island. As I did not grow up here I can only guess at that. At one time I did a lot of work on Seabrook both befor and after hurricane Hugo in 1989. That storm certainly changed the looks of the Islands as well as the rest of the area didn't it RBnSC ?
 
RBnSC,
Thanks. Beautiful area where you grew up. I googled other southern areas too. Very different looking than the upper midwest.

I do love the old architecture. Even around here, there are some really neat old homes and barns with unique architectural details. Love old buildings almost as much as old iron in junkyards.
 
Not to distract from the thread, but where are you folks from Sweetfeet? And where did you get that nickname?

AI, There were lots of nice farms on Johns Island on the way to Seabrook and Kiawah most many have been developed and farming is almost a thing of the past in that area. Very few of the plantation houses There survived. Hugo did not effect those places as much as they were on the south side of the storm.
Edisto Island was divided into plantations and those people became very wealthy from Sea Island Cotton a long staple variety. Many of the houses survived the war as the Island was not defended and was occupied by Union soldiers. Sherman came to the Island and barged many of the freed slaves that followed his army out of Georgia. He left them there as he was tired of feeding the and slowing down his army. Many of them died near this plantation waiting for him to return.
