Built around 1828, the Woodburn Historic House reveals many eras of South Carolina history. Originally a summer home for the Lowcountry elite, it later became a model ranch with high-bred horses and cattle, and then a tenant farm. Today, it contains a rich collection of furnishings that are original to the house or belonged to family members. Distinguished residents of the plantation include South Carolina Lieutenant Governor Charles Cotesworth Pinckney and the African-American nurse and social activist Jane Edna Harris Hunter.
