Built around 1740, this stunning colonial estate tells a story of American history that most history books leave out.On today's adventure, we explore the grounds, the main house, and the remarkable story of a man who risked everything for American independence — and then mysteriously vanished at sea just years later. #Hopseweeplantation #georgetown #america250 If you Love Travel and learning new things, Adventure Awaits: "Join me as I explore the world's most intriguing places, from abandoned ruins to historic landmarks.
