Hidden on Edisto Island, North Pine Point whispers tales of resilience. North Pine Point got its name from the towering pines that once graced its tip. Established as early as 1674, North Pine Point witnessed both prosperity and devastation. In 1686, Spanish marauders swept through, leaving destruction in their wake. Yet, North Pine Point endured. The plantation’s tabby foundation, a testament to its past, still stands near the river. Imagine the lives of the 170 enslaved people who toiled on this land. In 1861, as Union troops arrived, they seized their freedom. One of their cabins, once part of a community of 25, journeyed to the Smithsonian in 2013. It now stands as a powerful symbol in the National Museum of African American History and Culture. North Pine Point continued its journey through time. In 1852, the name Legare appeared on area maps. Julian Mitchell, the last known owner, held the property until his death in 1985. North Pine Point’s story, though fragmented, echoes the complex history of the Lowcountry.
