HISTORIC FRAMPTON HOUSE ~ Defend the Charleston & Savannah Railroad

Video capture of the historic Frampton House, Frampton Lines, and site of the "Hill" Plantation owned by John Edward Frampton. The Lines are greater than 100 yards in length. One can see them south,west and northwest of the Frampton House. The battery was built in 1861- 62 via South Carolina & Georgia Confederate troops to defend the Charleston & Savannah Railroad which was a route through the Lowcountry. Houses located here and at Frampton's other plantations were burned by Federal troops in early 1865. John Edward Frampton was a cotton grower, senator, and delegate to the Secession Convention. Note: This area had a true historic feel to it as if one were back in time especially with the old oak trees with spanish moss flowing from their limbs, the southern home contstructed in the 1800's, and the "Frampton Lines" constructed to defend the Charleston and Savannah Railroad. There was a steady flow of visitors to this site. It is good to see people are still interested in historic landmarks. Unfortunately, civil war landmarks are slowly being removed.
