Coffin Point Plantation, is a historic plantation house located in the Frogmore area of Beaufort County, South Carolina, USA. A Sea Island plantation.
Ebenezer Coffin, born in Boston in 1763, received 1120 acres and 63 chattel slaves from his father-in-law and had the house built on the property.[1]
It is estimated that the home was built around 1801, and like many early 19th century homes in the area, features a tabby foundation. One of the home's more striking features is the one-half mile avenue of oaks that leads to the home.
In 1862, during the Civil War, 260 people were recorded as being enslaved on the plantation.
James Donald Cameron, a Republican U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania and former Secretary of War bought the plantation house in the early 1890s.[2] Henry Adams described his visits to the Camerons at the plantation in his book The Education of Henry Adams.[3]
The plantation was placed in the National Historic Register on August 28, 1975.
