Worth the trip to see

Excellent interpretation of secession, slavery, Reconstruction, and Jim Crow. A very hard conversation at times, but a very necessary one. Stephanie is an amazing Park Ranger and one should absolutely take her tour. One of the finest interpretational tours I have ever taken.

Whats it's history?

Debates swirled around slavery and divided the nation during William Henry Gist’s term as governor of South Carolina (1858-1860). These debates reached a turning point with Abraham Lincoln’s election, causing Governor Gist to declare: “The only alternative left, in my judgment, is the secession of South Carolina from the Federal Union.” Today, Rose Hill Plantation State Historic Site is a place to learn about important themes and key events in South Carolina’s history: the cotton boom and its collapse, secession and Civil War, emancipation and the fight for civil rights and Reconstruction and its violent overthrow. The site provides visitors with opportunities to discover these significant stories through the perspectives of people who lived at Rose Hill, including William Henry Gist and his family, enslaved people, freedpeople and tenant farmers.

Free to enter the grounds, $5.00 for a guided tour of the house. Well worth it.
