Revisit to Charles Pinckney National Historical Site - Mt Pleasant, South Carolina

Last time I was here was in 2008, when we were on a trip with the Kingston's-  Wow!  They had added a couple of stamps, so that was a reason to visit.  

It's stop number 2 on the map.  About 13 miles from our hotel.  


The location is on the old Snee Plantation, and is the last remaining parcel of land that belonged to Charles Pinckney, who was an early and noted public servant of South Carolina.
