We went on our first field trip this year. It was to Kensington Mansion.It was an old plantation built in the late 1700's. It has it's fame due to a woman ran the plantation after her husband died and that was unusual back then.It had 40 slave houses,but only 1 remains.This house was one of the first ones in South Carolina to have indoor plumbing and an ice box as a refrigerator.It also had windows and some of them went all the way to the floor . They were hidden window doors at the end of the tour we exited out of one. It was so cool.What's also weird is at one point this mansion was so run down that they used it as a barn.I can't imagine it.
