On the grounds of one of the most tranquil bed and breakfasts in the deep south, stands a piece of agricultural architecture that is the last of it’s kind. Once one of the country’s most prolific rice plantations , Mansfield Plantation is widely recognized as one of the most well-preserved properties of it’s type in America. Many of the structures, dykes and rice cultivation relics can still be found on the nearly 1,000 acre property, just as they were as early as 1718. Arguabuably the most compelling piece of Carolina gold era ephemera, is the last winnowing house still standing on Earth. Used by slaves to prepare harvested rice for export, this historic monument reminds us all of the labor and ingenuity that built the low country, one husk at a time.
