Lowcountry Trail - Brookgreen Gardens - Murrells Inlet SC - Self Guided Walks and Trails on Waymarking.com

 "For enslaved Africans on Brookgreen, this hill was a bridge between the world of daily work and the familiarity of life in the slave village beyond the crest of the hill.  The rhythms of life--planting, growing, harvesting, threshing--changed seasonally for eeryone on the rice plantation.  Archaeological projects have revealed the remains of four structures on the hillside:  the site of the overseer's residence at the apex of the hill, and its kitchen, smokehouse and dependency closer to the edge of the rice field.  Along the trail, four stainless steel figures have been placed to represent the Plantation Owner, the Overseer and an enslaved African Male and Female.  They provide reminders of plantation life and the associated joys and sadness of the human experience played out here nearly 200 years ago."

This trail is located by the Lowcountry Center.  It has listening stations where you can stop and hear a story about a day in the life of the plantation.
