Historic Price House
Thomas and Ann Price built the three-story brick house that bears their name on a 2,000 acre plantation about 1795. Thomas Price ran a general store, a post office, and a “house of publick entertainment” (a tavern or inn) that provided beds, food, and drink to stagecoach travelers. Two-dozen enslaved people performed much of the work for these business enterprises and lived in quarters not unlike the slave cabin located on the site today. Tours of the main house, slave cabin, and grounds offer visitors a glimpse into the lives of a well-to-do entrepreneurial family as well as into the lives of the enslaved men and women they owned. Tours and special events also investigate the interaction between the plantation’s residents and the natural environment around them and how we continue to alter the natural world around us today. In 1968, the property was given to the Spartanburg County Historical Association, which operates the site today.
