Stoney-Baynard Plantation is the site of an 18th-century plantation on Hilton Head Island, now preserved as a historic ruin. Visitors can explore interpretive trails that wind through the remains of the main house's tabby foundations, slave cabins, and other structures. The site offers a poignant look at Lowcountry plantation life, with informational signage explaining the history of the Baynard family and the enslaved people who lived and worked here. It's a must-see for those interested in pre-Civil War Southern history.
