Mulberry Plantation is a historic plantation property located in rural Berkeley County, South Carolina, between Moncks Corner and Charleston. Established in 1714 by Thomas Broughton, the Royal governor of South Carolina, it is one of the oldest plantation homes in the United States, featuring well-preserved rice fields, dikes, and canals.
The main house, a two-story brick building with a gambrel roof, stands as a rare example of high-style early Georgian architecture. Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1963, Mulberry Plantation's rich history includes its use as a defensive site during the Yamasee War and subsequent ownership by notable individuals, contributing to its significance in American history.
