We recently visited Redcliffe Plantation, a State Historic Site close to home. It's rich history and beautiful surrounding trees and grounds made for a great day trip! I'm fortunate enough to have a sister, who is willing to share a day a week or so with us during her summer months and longer school breaks. We enjoy making memories with her! She has been a big part of our history Fridays and we are grateful for many reasons, but as you know, I'm outnumbered, so an extra set of hands is pretty invaluable to me! :) It was a fun day of exploring and picnic-ing!
The slave living quarters. There were many artifacts and really a lot to see in such a small little house.
Exploring the grounds and old trees with their cousin
Checking out the Plantation House. We could've rocked on the porch all day. We did forego the inside tour since we had some little ones and the inside is not air conditioned. We will get back there again, one day, for that part!
The Magnolia Alley. This was a small dirt driveway, which was the original carriage entry to the plantation, lined with hundred year old magnolia trees. Beautiful!
Lunch break under the trees! ;)
The stable! Checked it out and we stole the opportunity for some photo back drops. It was a great day and number 2 in our state park exploration. Next up is Lake Hartwell for a weekend of camping!
