Historic Hopsewee Plantation, home of Thomas Lynch Jr, signer of the Declaration of the United States, was fascinating. Such a nice lunch at the Tea Room then time seeing the museum, house, and slave quarters. Our travelers are the best! A very nice place and fun day!

Built between 1735 and 1740, Hopsewee House is oriented to face the river and not the road (the road in this instance is The King’s Highway), as we tend to build houses today.
The reason for this practice wasn’t for the view, as you might imagine. The true purpose was to have your welcoming front door facing the river from which your family and guests would arrive. Mostly everyone and everything traveled on the water in the early days.
At that time in South Carolina Lowcountry history, bridges and ferries were mostly just “a good idea”, especially this far away from Charleston. Here on the Santee Delta, we were truly thought to be pioneers in the far-reaching frontier!
Come visit us at Hopsewee Plantation.
We have so much History to Share🇺🇸

Our Charleston 1776 tour was an absolute delight! We learned so much while visiting The Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon and beautiful Middleton Place. Traveling with such a fun group made the experience even more enjoyable as we explored fascinating history together. We especially enjoyed lunch at Middleton Place, followed by tours of the House Museum and the gardens.

This year's Aiken Women's Heart Board and Benefit, Heartbeat of America, is inspired by America’s upcoming 250th birthday. The musical transports audiences to the fictional town of Heartsville, where excitement fills the air as townspeople prepare for a once-in-a-lifetime July 4th celebration. Hometown scientist Dr. Rosen-Rosen promises to dazzle the crowd with his latest invention — a working time machine — and plans to bring one of the Founding Fathers back to join the festivities. What follows is a whirlwind of laughter, surprises, and songs that will leave every heart smiling.

Come join us on February 28, for a delightful lunch at the Historic Wilcox Inn prior to the show. For more information and to register, go to https://capitoltours.wetravel.com/trips/aiken-women-s-heart-show-2026-capitol-tours-33381332 .

We traveled to the Grove Park Inn in Asheville to see the National Gingerbread entries! Had a fabulous lunch at the Blue Ridge Dining room at the Grove Park and topped the day off with shopping at A Day in the Country in Hendersonville, NC. Our Travel Club travelers are the best! Such a joy to be together!
