Review:
Rose Hill Plantation State Historic Site is a historic site in Union, South Carolina, where William H. Gist, the 68th governor of South Carolina, built his Georgian style brick home in 1830. He remodeled the house in 1860, adding front porches and two-level back and covering the brick with stucco to make it more in them modern Greek revival style. Rose Hill today offers visitors a picture of life on an upcountry cotton plantation of South Carolina from the antebellum era, through the Civil War, and into reconstruction. You’ll gain insight into the rich owners and slaves who made the lifestyle possible. The plantation is open to the visitors today, and you can stroll through the original plantation buildings and enjoy a magnificent rose garden on the beautifully landscaped grounds.
