Review:
It’s clear that South Carolina is full of history, and on Hilton Head Island, there’s a ton of historic sites to see and explore. The Baynard Plantation Ruins is one such location, a plantation that was once owned and called home by the Stoneys and Baynards families. Built by Captain Jack Stoney, an Irishman, in the 1790s, this former antebellum plantation featured a stunning view of the Calibogue Sound. Today, visitors can explore the plantation’s ruins like the remains of the main house and the slave quarters, which are almost otherworldly within its cove at the Sea Pines. Listed on the National Register of Historic Sites, a trip to the 6-acre grounds of the Baynard Plantation Ruins is one for the books.
