Fort Hill Plantation - Let's Go!

William Hiott is the Executive Director & Chief Curator for Fort Hill Plantation. He guides us through the history of Fort Hill and its famous residents, John C. Calhoun and Thomas Green Clemson. Hiott also shares the unique history of the Calhoun and Clemson women who were the family owners of the historic home. With each find from archeological digs, the untold experiences of the enslaved Africans who lived and worked at Fort Hill Plantation are also being revealed.
