Description
The owner of Hampton Plantation was considering removing this old oak tree, but when George Washington visited in 1761, he persuaded the owner to keep it. Therefore, it is named the George Washington Oak. Hampton Plantation, established in 1725 and located in McClellanville, South Carolina, was once a thriving 1200 acre rice plantation. Its main house exhibits one of the earliest known examples in the United States of a temple front in domestic architecture and is one of the state's finest examples of a wood frame Georgian plantation house. Declared a National Historic Landmark in 1970, it is now a historic site of the South Carolina state park system.
