Frampton Plantation property was part of a King’s Grant to the Frampton family in the 1700s.
General Sherman’s troops burned the plantation house and all the farm buildings in 1865.
John Frampton built on the same site the present charming Lowcountry farmhouse in 1868, and continued to farm the land. The old house was completely renovated in the 1930, adding indoor plumbing and electrical wiring.
In 1993 the Columbia developer Wymann Boozer donated the Frampton House to the Lowcountry Tourism Commission for the Lowcountry Visitor’s Center and Museum, ensuring that the old farmhouse would be restored.
The magnificent old oaks that frame the building and the Civil War earthworks in the backyard were also protected.
Today, the Frampton House hosts The Lowcountry & Resort Islands Tourism Commission upstairs while downstairs now serves as the Lowcountry Visitor’s Center and Museum.
