Mulberry Plantation (Moncks Corner, South Carolina)

The Lowcountry (sometimes Low Country or just low country) is a geographic and cultural region along South Carolina's coast, including the Sea Islands. The region includes significant salt marshes and other coastal waterways, making it an important source of biodiversity in South Carolina. Once known for its slave-based agricultural wealth in rice and indigo, crops that flourished in the hot subtropical climate, the Lowcountry today is known for its historic cities and communities, natural environment, cultural heritage, and tourism industry. The communities in low countries are still heavily dominated by African Americans communities, such as the Gullah/Geechee people. These communities have been increasingly challenged by gentrification in part caused by the tourism industry as well as environmental racism.The geography of the low country, means that its vulnerable to climate change and related sea level rise and subsidence as well as other environmental issues.

Lewisfield Plantation is a historic plantation house located near Moncks Corner, Berkeley County, South Carolina. It was built about 1774, and is a 2 1/2-half story clapboard dwelling. It is supported by a high brick foundation that encloses a raised basement. It has a five bay wide verandah supported by six slender Doric order columns. Records show over 100 slaves were held in bondage on the plantation as of 1835. Lewisfield fronts on the Cooper River and was bounded by Exeter Plantation to the north and Mulberry Plantation to the south. Sedgewick Lewis bought the 1000 acre plantation in 1767 from Baronet John Colleton. At that time, the plantation was known as Little Landing, but it was later known as Lewisfield because of Lewis' ownership. Lord Cornwallis was a guest of Lewis when Cornwallis was heading to Charleston from Camden. A Revolutionary War skirmish occurred directly in front of the house when Colonel Wade Hampton (1752–1835) surprised a British force that had stopped at Lewisfield Plantation to await a paroled prisoner of war, Keating Simons, who was the owner of the plantation at the time. In 1937, Robert R.M. Carpenter bought the estate for $50,000 from the Lewisfield Club, a collection of owners. Carpenter intended to use the house as a duck hunting property in the winters. In 1948, Carpenter sold the plantation (by then increased to 2500 acres) to the Williams Furniture Corporation of Sumter, South Carolina. The business bought the house not for the historic plantation house but rather to secure several million board feet of lumber growing on about 1500 acres of the estate; the business did not have immediate plans for the portion of the estate with the house and hunting grounds. South Carolinian politician Rembert Dennis lived on the plantation. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Under new ownership, the house and grounds are undergoing a massive renovation and restoration to save both house and grounds.

Gippy Plantation is a historic plantation house located at 366 Avenue of Oaks, near Moncks Corner in Berkeley County, South Carolina. The main house is a 2+1⁄2-story Greek Revival frame structure, with a four-column gabled pediment at the center of its main facade. The house was built by John Sims White, and was at the center of a plantation that was more than 1,800 acres (730 ha) in size. It received restoration and Colonial Revival features in the 1920s. John Sims White bought the plantation in 1821 and built the current house after an earlier one burned. Mr. White died from typhoid fever in 1865, and his wife remained at the house. In 1895, J. St. Clair White sold Gippy to his cousin Samuel Gaillard Stoney of nearby Medway Plantation, and the plantation continued in active farming until 1910. Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas G. Roosevelt bought the plantation in 1927 and made some alterations including replacing the earlier square columns with round columns. After Mr. Roosevelt's death, a group of three businessmen purchased about 1200 acres of Gippy in 1972 for about $1 million with an eye toward added industrial uses along Highway 52. The plantation house was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.
