On June 17, 2008, the Conservation District Hosted an Affiliate Member Tour at Milford Plantation in Pinewood, SC. Symbolic of the rural community life that flourished before the Civil War, Milford, ca. 1839, is considered one of the most outstanding Greek Revival plantation homes in the South. Having escaped being burned by General W. T. Sherman’s troops, it remains a museum piece of the traditional antebellum south. The Mannings, the original family owners, contributed many governors to the State of South Carolina and were leaders in the politics and society of the area. When first built, it earned the title of “Manning’s Folly” since its location was so remote and the details so elaborate. Affiliate Members were also able to tour the grounds which included guesthouses/dependencies, stable, water/bell tower, and a spring house. After the tour Affiliate Members gathered at Poinsett State Park where lunch was provided by the Conservation District. The district would like to thank all of our affiliate members for their support Without their support we would be unable to provide Clarendon County with the various educational programs and technical assistance that promote wise use and care of our natural resources. Also, the District would like to give special thanks to Mr. Richard H. Jenrette, the current owner of the plantation, for allowing us the opportunity to tour the Milford Plantation House. |
