Formally known as a Motown hotspot, Charlie’s Place brought many performers and musicians before integration. It provided a place for African-American artists of the day to perform, including Dizzy Gillespie, Little Richard, Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, and many others. Remodeled in 2018 as a community center and business incubator, this area is to be preserved to remember its past.

This area is the historical remnants of five archaeology sites. These sites range from slave houses, overseer’s homes and even rice plantations and mills. Visitors are taken aback by the sheer preservation of the area and others hope to uncover more in the coming years.
These plantations were part of a large rice culture in the county which flourished from ca.1750 to ca.1910 and are a part of the history that encapsulates the area. There are four plantation houses and beautiful mills and chimneys that one can revel in when visiting.
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.
Once a historic rice plantation that has been turned and flipped anew. Today you can enjoy a low country vibe and historic feel as visitors can sleep and eat in this bread and breakfast. With its scenery and variety of options for food, this is a tourist dream destination if one really would like to be immersed in the time period.
Belonging to Johnathon A. Baxter, a free born son of shoemakers, this house is in the Georgetown Historic District. Baxter served as an alderman and commissioner as he went to give three terms for the SC House of Representatives after Reconstruction.
