The historic Hopewell Plantation, once home to Revolutionary War General Andrew Pickens and Native American Treaty Site, will be open for free tours from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, April 18. As The Chronicle announced in March, Hopewell opened on Saturday, March 21 and will be open each third Saturday thereafter.

Hopewell is located at 101 Hopewell Road in Clemson. Following are directions on the Clemson University website: “From Clemson Boulevard, turn onto Old Stone Church Road. At the intersection of Old Cherry Road, turn left at the three-way stop. Travel half a mile and turn left onto West Queen Street, following the S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) signs. Immediately past the railroad tracks at the Cherry Farm and DNR signs, turn right onto Hopewell Road. Follow the road to the end of the drive to view the S.C. National Heritage Corridor sign.”
