THE STORY

Narrated · Plays hands-free in Travel Mode
Woodburn, standing some 200 yards west of here, was built by South Carolina Lieutenant Governor Charles Cotesworth Pinckney by 1832. Presbyterian minister to Armenia Dr. John B. Adger bought Woodburn in 1852, and in 1881 Augustine T. Smythe began a model stock farm there. Jane Hunter, founder of the Phillis Wheatley centers for working girls, was born in a tenant house there in 1882.
