Weymouth Plantation - Georgetown, South Carolina
Located on South Carolina’s Pee Dee River, Weymouth Plantation is a historic and diverse well-managed recreational property. The plantation is located on Plantersville Road, a scenic road made up of some of the most significant plantation properties in the state, including Chicora Wood, Exchange, Rosebank, and Arundel. Weymouth has a broad range of habitat types that provide an enormous amount of quality outdoor hunting and fishing opportunities. The upland pines and longleaf have been managed for quail, there are duck impoundments, and great deer and turkey hunting. Situated on the river, a mile and a half from the paved road, the main house is surrounded by huge live oaks and the setting is the definition of serene.

New Georgetown Emergency Center
As the northeast deals with the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, Georgetown County Emergency Management begins operating a super high-tech room lined with ten large flat video monitors and projection screens. Designed to improve safety and responsiveness, officials said they hope it will never have to be used for its ultimate purpose. A larger-than-expected crowd got a glimpse of Georgetown County's central command and control facility on Thur., Nov. 15, when the county hosted a dedication ceremony for its newly expanded Emergency Operations Center (EOC) on Highmarket Street--site of the Georgetown County Emergency Services administration building. Sam Hodge, Georgetown County Emergency manager, said the 3,200-square-foot addition allows the nerve center to have sufficient space to house municipal, state,federal partners, along with county personnel, who may be on duty around the clock. The former EOC was limited to about 720 sq. ft. EOC visitors on Thursday saw work tables all over the coordination room. Chairs were covered with colored vests, which were labeled with bold lettering showing a person's job during a response or recovery effort. A red vest said Volunteers Group Supervisor. County officials say planning for the addition started about two years ago. Funds totaling $828,000 for the building and equipment were allocated through the Capital Improvement Plan. This is the third EOC for the county. The first was upstairs in a Broad Street building now being converted into a new Georgetown County Museum location. EOC was there until 2003, when it moved to Highmarket. County Administrator Sel Hemingway welcomed guests, emergency representatives from Horry,Marion,Dorchester and Orangeburg counties. He talked about Hurricane Sandy's recovery under way. Despite the best efforts of all us and all our brothers and sisters across the country for this endeavor, we fight a losing battle, Hemingway said. There will be losses and we can only do the best we can to minimize them. County Council Chairman Johnny Morant says the construction project was a tremendous task and he was grateful for the work conducted by all. It was built with 200 yards of concrete to safe-room standards, Morant says. And is rated to withstand 150 MPH winds from hurricanes and tornados. Electric service is backed-up by a 220 KW emergency generator, and 30,000 feet of data cabling went into the facility. He announces the unveiling of a dedication plaque, joining with Georgetown City Council Members Paige Sawyer and Peggy Wayne, Georgetown County Council Members Ron Charlton, Bob Anderson and Austin Beard, and City of Georgetown Mayor Jack Scoville. Mercom of Pawleys Island installed a video streaming camera on the ceiling, video teleconferencing (VTC), video links to schools and video cameras to the outside of the building, because it has no windows. The county's internet technology staff assisted. There are local, county, state and national news feeds coming in through connections from Southern Coastal Cable and Time Warner, Hodge said. The space the EOC previously occupied will be used to expand the county's disaster call center. Coastal Structures of Georgetown was the general contractor and architects were Tych and Walker, LLP. Mercom recently announced a new plant on Pawleys Island with hiring expected for its business of designing and installing such information technology systems as now operated by Georgetown County.

Listing Site:
Property Site:
In early 1815 General Andrew Jackson had just defeated the British in the Battle of New Orleans to end the War of 1812 when Charlotte Ann Allston started construction of a new home for her family in Georgetown, South Carolina. The house at 422 Prince Street would become the home of her son, Robert, a West Point graduate that would serve several years in the State Senate before becoming Governor of the State of South Carolina in 1856. The home was periodically updated and expanded including the addition of the second floor plus the sunroom beginning in 1899. While maintaining the original Colonial style construction and wood floors the home seamlessly transitions from Colonial to Modern in the kitchen and baths. This wonderful home is being sold fully furnished with museum quality furnishings throughout. This total property consists of two large lots combined into a classic southern setting. The original Heart of Pine floors have been handsomely restored and serve as the platform for each magnificent room. In the 1890s the entrance was opened and expanded to allow easy access to the two parlors with the comfort of the warm fireplace in each. The formal dining room also has a cozy fireplace and opens to the kitchen and a butlers pantry. The Gentlemans quarters are lined with book cases where you can escape into a great novel. A 300 year old Heart of Pine Island in the center of the kitchen provides the transition to the modern kitchen and its 6-burner gas range, an antique sink found in a farmhouse in Scotland, marble countertops and double French doors that lead to the Botanical Gardens. On the second floor the Master bedroom wing encompasses the entire west side of the home. A warm fireplace welcomes you into the large sitting parlor of the Master wing where you can read or discuss the days activities. As you retire to the Master bedroom you soak in the rich history of over two hundred years then transition to the ultimate modern Master bath with large twin vanities, a clawfoot tub and walk in shower. The two guest bedrooms are equally luxurious adorned with amazing antique furnishings and comfortable bedding with in-suite private baths and a view that overlooks the lush Gardens. Three classic southern porches provide the perfect opportunity to sit and greet friends and neighbors out for an evening walk or just sit and enjoy the beauty of the expansive Gardens. The classically designed Gardens include a series of interconnecting formal Garden rooms that are planted seasonally with low maintenance traditional local trees and shrubs.

On the grounds there are three event areas including: The Oval Garden which is surrounded by South Carolina Palmetto trees, The Square Garden which is edged with local shrubs and the large east lawn lined with spreading Angel Live Oaks trees which are adorned with Spanish Moss.

Black Georgetown Remembered
As part of its bicentennial celebration in 1988-89, Georgetown University honors this remarkable community in a documentary video titled Black Georgetown Remembered. Through the recollections of the members of the Georgetown black community, some of whom still reside in Georgetown, the documentary pays tribute to a community that thrived amidst slavery, Jim Crow laws, and economic inequity to emerge with a rare strength and identity. It features the remembrances of the decades of the 1940s to the 1950s when the population of Georgetown changed markedly.
This video complements the book Black Georgetown Remembered first published in 1991 and now available in a 25th anniversary commemorative hardcover edition:
