Litchfield Plantation

Residential Buildings

Litchfield Plantation is one of the oldest rice plantations on the Waccamaw River, in Pawleys Island, South Carolina, its mansion built in 1740. The plantation is being developed today as a master-planned residential community; the original mansion now serves as a homeowners social club, and a church occupies the site of the former stables. The grounds retain archaeological evidence of a cemetery for enslaved laborers, and the plantation has lent its name to the nearby Litchfield Beach community.
