Monochrome Monday – Circa 1730 – 1790
This rural rice plantation belonged to the same family from 1696 to 1971. Hampton Plantation, Santee Delta, South Carolina.
Aiken – Rhett, Wandering Allowed
This house was built in 1820. A three story brick double house, two entrances on different streets since there was much more open space at the time.
The same family lived here for almost two centuries, it’s currently owned by the Historic Charleston Foundation. The property was listed on the National Historic Registry in 1997.
These buildings have been maintained in the same condition as of 1850. All original, no renovations, and best of all…you can wander around on your own.

Follow The Light
The light is dim and the stairs creak a bit.

Found On A Walk, A Cloudy Day
A walk through the old cemeteries here is like a visit to an art gallery that takes you back in time. You see light Victorian lace like structures standing besides heavy Gothic dramatic stone work.
We had not been out for a few days, stir crazy setting in, so let’s go to a cemetery. Made perfect sense.

Memorial Day – 2026
An old military cemetery. Shot a few days after Memorial Day.
Any number of different flags could have been placed around the cemetery. Since this is primarily from the US Civil Ware era we might have seen;
- South Carolina state flag (there were several from the war years)
- One of several Confederate States flags
- the 1860 US flag
- The Country of South Carolina (we were a new country from the time between succession and joining the CSA)
- The CSA battle flag
- The current US flag
Thankfully the trust running this old cemetery went the United States flag.
