Originally part of the Lord Proprietor’s Plantation established in 1670 one of the first plantations in the Carolinas. After the Civil War, Maryville became a model city for self-governance by former slaves and their children. Maryville was named after a Local Schoolteacher, Mary Matthews & was operated successfully for 50 years, until their charter was revoked by the City of Charleston in 1936. They run around the back porch loudly on planks that are long gone and can be heard snapping twigs in the backyard. They hide in the Attic sometimes, other times they want to play games in the Green Room.  They love interacting with their guests and are very friendly. This is an excellent Level I Investigation House.
