Sponsored by the Episcopal Church Women
of Prince George Winyah Episcopal Church


The Sixty-Sixth Annual Plantation Tour of plantations and town houses in and near Georgetown will be held March 22 & 23, 2013. The majority of the plantations and town houses are privately owned and graciously shared with the Episcopal Church Women of Prince George, Winyah, Parish once per year. A different group of homes is on tour each day.

As part of the tour of pre-Revolutionary and antebellum churches, town houses and plantations, visitors are invited to the Winyah Indigo Society Hall for tea each afternoon.

Home baked goods, original framed art from local artists, many of them members of the church, books from the Georgetown Historical Society, and our award winning cookbook, Plantation Tours and Tastes, will be available for sale in the Parish Hall.

In addition, the annual Oyster Roast & Pig Pickin’ hosted by the Prince George Men's Ministry will take place on Friday, March 22rd 6:00 pm at Hazzard Marine, 200 S. Meeting St, Georgetown. $25 per ticket. Tickets may be purchased with your Tour tickets or through the church office.

Houses will be open from 9:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Please allow a full day for each day’s tour. Histories and maps showing the routes for the day are provided with tickets. Hosts and hostess will be happy to answer any questions you may have concerning the houses that are open. Visitors provide their own transportation. Only cars and vans are allowed on the tours because of the many low-hanging oak limbs and soft roadbeds. NO BUSES, please.

All Visitors are requested to wear low heeled shoes for their own comfort, as well, as for the protection of the old floors and rugs. You are also reminded that no photographs may be taken inside homes.
