My husband was installing a fence for a customer that lives in Dorchester. He needed some hinges, so I packed my lunch for a road trip. Close to where he was working a sign just over the railroad tracks caught my attention - Large Tracks for Sale, with an arrow pointing to a long paved road. So, curious girl that I am, off I go looking for some large railroad tracks.
I passed by fields of corn just barely tall enough to tell what was growing. Rounding a curve these old houses and barns appeared. I stopped in awe and took these pictures.
After shooting these pictures, I drove until the payment ended. There was another sign posted - Land for Sale - 15 - 20 Acres and a phone number. The road from start to finish must have been about 3 miles long. I definitely felt like I was out in the country in the middle of Nowheresville.
This little fixer upper was on another road in Dorchester SC and it was so cute I just had to take a peek around:
If you know the history of the south of large plantations and slaves, these buildings must be slave homes. Sitting out in the middle of nowhere along old roads and amoung the fields where people lived and worked, loved and had children, now all is still and silent.
That's it for my tour of homes in Dorchester. To actually live there would be like stepping back in time. Something to consider. I must call to find out what the price is for this land. It would be awesome to restore one of these old relics from the past.
