Rose Hill Plantation State Historic Site

Union, SC
|
southcarolinaparks.com/rose-hill

    • Mission

    To make the stories from Rose Hill’s past and present, even uncomfortable and unpleasant ones, relevant and accessible to modern audiences. Through preservation and interpretation of park resources, Rose Hill will explore with its visitors how people’s decisions and actions affect the continuous struggle in South Carolina to define freedom, equality, and citizenship.

    About Us

    Rose Hill Plantation State Historic Site is a unit of the South Carolina State Park Service. It was active as a plantation from 1811 to 1939. By 1860, William Henry Gist, who was then owner of Rose Hill and governor of South Carolina, held 178 people in bondage, making this one of the largest enslaved communities in Union District. After emancipation, freedpeople from Rose Hill fought for equal rights and full citizenship. Today, the site interprets slavery, secession, the Civil War and Reconstruction, emancipation, sharecropping, and the collapse of the plantation system.

    The South Carolina State Park Service is a program of the South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism, a state agency that serves as the leading marketing organization for South Carolina tourism. SCPRT operates 47 state parks and administers federal and state grants for recreational development.
