Snee Farm in Mount Pleasant preserves the surviving core of the plantation and country retreat associated with Charles Pinckney, a South Carolina statesman who fought in the American Revolutionary War and helped draft the United States Constitution. Established in 1754 by his father as a rice and indigo plantation, the estate later served both as a working plantation and a rural residence accessible from Charleston by boat. The present main house was built in 1828 after the earlier Pinckney-era buildings were demolished. Reduced sharply by development in the 1970s, the remaining acreage endures as an important window into Lowcountry plantation society, including the central role of enslaved labor.
