Charles Pinckney NHS (Park # 222) / by Dave Hileman

This is a nice setting if you don’t look too closely. The house is old, 1828, but not original nor one Charles lived in, the land is nicely done but along a busy road and in the midst of lots of housing, the path is short and only mildly interesting, so a bit of a disappointment Charles Pinckney was a very accomplished man - with some of the same issues that his time and place made too normal, but still a hard worker, good thinker and added a lot to the US Constitution. But his home in Charleston with all of his papers burned and his plantations -save this remnant are gone. Nice enthused young man at the VC.

This completes SC except for the Reconstruction Era NHS in Beaufort which is still being developed and not open yet.
