A glimpse into rural Carolinan life through this house whose owner and builder was inspired by riverboat designs he had seen while in Mississippi: wrap-around porches, etc.
Park area where you can hike or paddle around in a raft/boat/etc and appreciate the tannic acid of the water and the greenery of this river bottom area.
