    Hobcaw Barony is a historical treasure near historic Georgetown and has been on my SC to-do list…read morefor years. You have to make a reservation in advance if you want to participate in the bus tour and visit the historic homes and structures nestled deep in the woods on the property. Your tour begins with an introductory film on the history of the property and how it wound up in the hands of Bernard Baruch and ultimately Belle Baruch his daughter, who used it as a summer retreat. The story of the Baruchs and the globally famous historical figures they entertained at the restored plantation home (including Winston Churchill and FDR) was incredibly interesting and it was hard to imagine such figures making their way to the backwoods of the South Carolina lowcountry. Your tour gives you entry into the partially restored plantation home as well as allows you to stop and visit the old village of the descendants of the enslaved peoples who once worked and lived on the property as well as step outside Belle's house as well. You'll also learn about the important conservation work being undertaken there alongside scientists from Clemson University If you're a history or conversation lover I highly recommend planning a visit to Hobcaw Barony (and remember - you'll need to make a reservation in advance!). It's definitely an interesting way to pass a few hours. You'll also be right down the road from Brookgreen Gardens which is definitely worth a visit as well.

    Beautiful full of history. I'd love to see more of Belle Baruch's story and her house restored.read more

    I took the ferry from Mount Pleasant. The Mount Pleasant ferry tickets are purchased online or…read morenext to the window for USS Yorktown tickets. The ferry itself is right across from USS Yorktown. (There is also a ferry from Charleston) I think this is definitely worth it. It's very interesting. We only got 60 minutes on the fort, 90 minutes would have been better. I'll have to go again. First we had an interesting 10 minutes talk from the self designated "Most Handsome Man" in the National Park Service. I forgot his name but he was very cool. The female ranger there was cool as well. Outside there are several plaques to read and they are definitely worth reading. Lots of cannons there. Great views. I took lots of pictures. There is a small indoor museum too with lots of info. There was only 15 minutes left by the time I got into the museum so I just videoed all I could to look at later. Lots to read in the museum as well. I ran out of time and didn't make it to the bookstore. I will go again. Hopefully next year.

    This was an amazing experience. I would suggest planning this out ahead of time. The Fort is free…read more You need to pay for the ferry that takes you there. Tickets can be bought online or at the visitor center. Small discount if you buy the tickets online. There are two spots for the ferry. One is in Charleston and the other is Patriot Point in Mt Pleasant. I left from Charleston. It's about a 30 minute ferry ride to the fort. You get to see views of the bridge and the USS Laffey on the way to the fort. I enjoyed my time there. I was on the last tour of the day. The last tour looks for volunteers to take the flag down for the day. I would suggest volunteering, it was very memorable. There was a lot of historical information that the rangers went over. It's self guided but you can talk to the rangers and ask questions. Ranger Chris was amazing. Very personable and full of knowledge. He definitely enjoyed what he does. He spoke for a portion of the ride back to give more information including places to eat in Charleston. I would visit again, but this time leave from Patriot Point to see the museum.
