Charles Pinckney National Historic Site

The historic site was established to interpret Charles Pinckney's role in the development of the United States Constitution; his plantation Snee Farm; and the transition of the United States from a group of colonies to a young nation. Interpretive exhibits, located in a house built circa 1828 but which is not Pinckney related, highlight these areas as well as the influences of African-Americans in the development of Snee Farm.
