Dedicated to the preservation of McLeod Plantation
The Friends of McLeod
will hold our next quarterly meeting and
you are most welcome to come and share
Memories of McLeod: Part II
James Island Baptist Church
2 - 5 pm
Saturday, July 25
We held our first meeting for the people who have ties to McLeod, called Memories of McLeod: A Genealogic Experience, in March. Knowing that there was more to the history of McLeod Plantation than the historic buildings, the verdant fields, the burial grounds, and the cultural ties, many people came. They were videotaped telling wonderful stories of the plantation, we made copies of documents and photographs that they brought, we enjoyed refreshments together - and we found history in everyone's stories. Now we know much more about the crops, the people, the way of life. Not only were the McLeod families traced back, but descendants of slaves from the cabins were there, along with others who were born and raised at McLeod.
Do you have a story your grandmother told you about McLeod? Have you passed it on to your children? Please don't let this tale die, but bring it to life. Your grandmother told you HER story, now tell it to us to make it part of HISTORY.
Stay for refreshments and conversation
