Mansfield Plantation is a National Historic Landmark consisting of 893.4 acres of "antebellum authenticity" located on Black River near Georgetown.  It was early in the 1800's that rice plantations near Georgetown began to flourish and created some of the wealthiest colonists in the country.  Over 100 slaves worked at Mansfield and many lived in the slave village that still stands today.  Mansfield Plantation's main residence was constructed during this time and is situated overlooking the rice fields at the end of a stunning oak-lined driveway.

After the War Between the States many of the plantations in the "low country" fell into disarray and by the early 1900's were purchased by wealthy northerners who used them as hunting retreats.  In 1930 Mansfield Plantation was purchased by businessman, Colonel Robert L. Montgomery, of Ardossan, Pennsylvania.  Col. Montgomery improved the plantation by renovating the main house, adding beautiful brick bridges along the main driveway, a stable for their horses, a laundry house, and three charming guest cottages.  In 1970 the plantation was purchased by Wilbur Smith of Columbia, South Carolina from Mrs. Montgomery.  The Smith family often traveled from their Columbia home to Mansfield inviting friends to share holidays and hunting excursions.  Mansfield is presently owned and cared for by Sally Smith, who inherited the property from her father in 1995.
