Plantersville

As an unincorporated community within Georgetown South Carolina there is not much that can be seen within this area industrially, but there are other historical things to witness. In viewing the 12+ plantations there one can see all the history and stories of those who lived there. 

Parkersville School

Being one of the 35 Rosenwald Schools, Parkersville holds onto the Pawleys Island Child Development Center but risks that title. As a Rosenwald School, Parkersville holds both a historic and significant piece of the area by providing education to African Americans in the South. With a teetering preservation in the future, many are working to make sure this school is upkept and saved.  

Oryzantia Plantation Slave Cabin

Previously known as Hobcaw Barony, this plantation was owned by a family of barons. When the property was turned into a rice plantation, there were slaves kept maintaining it. Today, only one slave cabin exists in remembrance, and guided tours are given to visitors.

Old Bethel Cemetery

Located next to Georgetown Hospital, this cemetery was created and maintained during the Civil War. By providing many with a place to worship, it was also a place for refuge and recovery during.

New Bethel Baptist Church

Being one of the historic parishes that offered a place to worship to African Americans during the time when no other place did, New Bethel Missionary Baptist Church still is in operation today providing services.
