Tucked behind a tree-lined avenue of ancient oaks along Walterboro’s main thoroughfare stands one of South Carolina’s historic treasures, Orange Grove Place, a Federal style historic home. The faint echoes of horse-drawn carriages clattering under the elaborate moss-draped canopy of live oak and mature magnolia trees provides a picturesque prelude to the magnificent Southern estate that lies beyond.
