She has been there for a long time. Towards the end of the US Civil War she was buried before the Federal troops arrived to burn the plantations. During the earthquakes of 1886 she was wrapped in a mattress.
I think was recently scrubbed up a bit, the lady is very clean looking.
Middleton Plantation, Charleston, South Carolina.
What an interesting story. Sounds a bit like what happened to many things in the second world war.
This is one of the things that make me love where I live (in spite of the politics). History is kept, and maintained here. Old cemeteries in the woods, church ruins, the past is right here in the present. Never had that up north.
