The "Frampton House" property has a rich history dating back to the 1700s. The original plantation house was burned down during General Sherman's troops' march, but in 1868, John Frampton rebuilt the charming Lowcountry farmhouse and continued to work the land. In 1993, the property was donated to the Lowcountry Tourism Commission, which has since transformed it into the Lowcountry Visitor's Center, Museum, and Gift Shop. The restored farmhouse now serves as a hub for visitors, offering a pleasant and informative experience. The visitor's center features clean restrooms, an outdoor seating area, and a pet-friendly environment. Visitors can explore the museum's exhibits, learn about local history, and browse the gift shop, which sells locally crafted items. The center also provides brochures and information about nearby sightseeing opportunities. While the property may not have extensive exhibits, it offers a unique glimpse into the region's past and serves as a valuable resource for those interested in local history and culture. Admission is free, and visitors are encouraged to donate to help maintain this historic gem.

We were so glad we stopped. Such a great historic plantation house and property. Docent took the time to walk us thru 2 rooms of historical items and told us many stories. Seems like many movies were shot on parts of this property. Very good gift shop selection.
