In Service to Our Nation: The Historic Military Legacy of Hobcaw's Former Residents

About this event

@ To commemorate Veteran’s Day, join Hobcaw Barony staff and volunteers for a special tour to reflect on the sacrifices and valor of veterans. Stories will be shared about impactful people and occasions from the Revolutionary War through World War II. Participants will see part of the historical Kings Highway where Francis Marion and his men trod, Friendfield Village where many African Americans’ lives changed after the Civil War, Hobcaw House where Bernard Baruch entertained dignitaries such as Dr. Cary Grayson and First Lady Edith Wilson, the Victory Garden where Belle Baruch grew food during World War II, and the Bellefield tea terrace where President Roosevelt was entertained during his April 1944 visit. Dress for indoor and outdoor activities. This is a rain or shine event. (Exertion level: Moderate impact – walking on uneven terrain) Reservations required. Please note that tour participants travel via a 12-person passenger bus on rustic roads comprised of sand and dirt. Often, the roads are extremely rough and rutted, a situation which will jostle riders on the bus. Although the staff at Hobcaw Barony tries to keep them smooth, due to changeable weather and other factors, the condition of the rural roadways cannot be guaranteed to be smooth.
