About Hobcaw Barony Nature Center
Hobcaw Barony is a privately owned research reserve near Georgetown, South Carolina, covering about 16,000 acres. Its land holds many of the coastal ecosystems found across the South Carolina Lowcountry, which makes it a site for environmental research. The property also includes more than 70 cultural sites, among them cemeteries, former enslaved people's villages, and the homes of the Baruch family. Visitors can reach the property only through guided tours and programs, and all of them require a reservation. The two-hour Discover Hobcaw tour covers history, ecology, and research, and the longer Explore Hobcaw tour goes to more sites on the property. The Discovery Center, where tours begin, has exhibits and a gift shop and is free to enter, though donations are welcome.
