Southern Magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora)

Flowering plants, like this Southern Magnolia, are remnant of historic ornamental gardens once enjoyed by former farm owners and still marveled over by modern visitors.

Snee Farm, once owned by Charles Pinckney, was a working farm for over 200 years. This corn crib, built in 1910, is one of the few remaining structures of a bygone era.
