Stoney-Baynard Plantation

Stoney-Baynard Plantation on the south end of Hilton Head Island preserves rare above-ground ruins and unusually intact archaeological remains from a plantation established in the late eighteenth century. Built in 1793 by Revolutionary War veteran Captain Jack Stoney as part of Braddock's Point Plantation, the tabby-and-timber house later passed to the Baynard family and was occupied by cotton planter William Baynard in the 1840s. The site retains evidence of the main house, an overseer’s house, a slave house, and later Union military use after the Battle of Port Royal. Its importance rests in how clearly it preserves plantation organization, slavery, and wartime occupation.
