Hanover House (Clemson Historic Properties: Hanover House) Capacity: 150
Description
Hanover House was likely built in the early 18th century by skilled enslaved laborers in Berkeley County, SC. In the 1940's, Hanover House, a former rice plantation of the St. Julien and Ravenel French Huguenot families, was reconstructed on Clemson’s campus before being moved to the SC Botanical Garden in 1994. The Department of Historic Properties operates the Hanover House as an historic house museum, sharing its full and complete history from its connections to Indigenous communities to the Africans and African Americans who labored there as freedom seekers and later as sharecroppers.
