Thanks for spending a chilly afternoon with us. We joke that the temperature in the house lends authenticity to the time period, but a roaring fire in the fireplace sure would be nice! You are troopers for sticking with it, but glad you enjoyed Elizabeth's tour! Come back and see us!
If you are anywhere near Augusta Ga or Beech Island SC, Redcliffe Plantation is a must! The park grounds are beautiful and well maintained, and the tour of the mansion is fun and informative. Elizabeth did a great Job as our Guide!
We're so glad that you chose to visit us! This is one of the most well-documented plantations in the South and we are happy to share the resources with interested visitors. Thanks for leaving your comments, we hope to see you back soon!Joy Raintree, Park Manager
Many thanks to Elizabeth Laney, our guide and ranger of the park. The tour was interesting and cognitive.
Located about 20 minutes outside of downtown Augusta, it's a tucked-away plantation for tour. We took a guided tour of the plantation which was interesting as well as went inside former slave quarters. The tour guide was friendly and kept things interesting. The grounds around the house are very well kept. There are hiking trails available that are most shaded but I don't believe that they get walked on often as there were numerous spider webs that crossed the trail and hit me while hiking. Overall, the experience was good, low cost, and interesting.
We arrived too early to take the house tour, but thoroughly enjoyed touring all of the outbuildings and the beautiful grounds. The Hammond family cemetery is also just town the road. We'll be returning to take the house tour!
So glad that you enjoyed your tour and the hospitality of our wonderful Park Technician Doug! Please come back and see us again on your next trip to South Carolina/Georgia. We are constantly updating our tours with new research, so that when you return you will hopefully hear some new information. Thanks again!
Elizabeth was our tour. She did a fantastic job! You can tell she really loves her job. The house itself is just incredible. I could spend hours out there. I encourage everyone to check it out!
On a quick getaway, we decided to chance a quick visit down to Redcliffe and thank goodness we did. Unfortunately, we missed the last full tour. The park guide, Elizabeth was so full of passion for this property and so willing to share...she had a grace for bringing alive the plantation. We will be back when we have longer to visit and when we can take the full tour. Thank you.
had a great time with family. ranger Elizabeth did a great job with guided tour. She has great passion for history. The new visitors center is great,clean restrooms with a small museum and gift shop. the photo ops are many-the grounds are well kept. A must stop for history buffs and lovers of old plantation houses. picnic tables available if you want a nice relaxing lunch in old south environment.
