Georgetown Plantation Tour - Arcadia

Ben decided we should have a little weekend adventure, so one Saturday in March we headed across the bridge for the Home and Plantation Tour hosted by the Saint George Winyah Episcopal Church in historic downtown Georgetown, SC.  The two day event allows attendees access into numerous historic homes and plantations in Georgetown County.  Friday was the south of Georgetown tour, which we were unable to attend because of work, and Saturday was the north of Georgetown tour.  They flip the schedule each year, so we are hoping to go back next year to see the other plantations and homes we didn't get to see this year.

We arrived before the doors opened at the church to get our tickets, and being second in line, we quickly devised a plan of action as soon as we got our tickets and map.  With 17 stops on the list, we needed to move and act quickly.  Scanning the list we decided Arcadia would be our first stop.  We had heard that the grounds were beautiful, and the home is hardly ever open to the public.  We jumped in the truck and were the first guests to arrive at the house.  These photos really show the beauty of this historic property without other visitors to distract from the scenery.
