This picture of Fort Hill was taken by Gary DuBose of Seneca in February 2009.
Gary writes: "This is the John C Calhoun House, known as Fort Hill, located on the campus of Clemson University. Calhoun's son-in-law, Thomas Clemson, gave the land to the state in the late 1800s."
The areas of the plantation open for public viewing include the house, Calhoun's office, a reconstructed kitchen, a partially restored spring, and a beautiful lawn.
