About the event
The Bedon-Lucas house is one of the few remaining high-houses in Colleton County. Located in the heart of Walterboro, South Carolina’s Historic District this beautiful house reminds visitors and locals alike the culture and heritage that is so prevalent in the South. Plantation owners in the Colleton County area were primarily growing rice. Growing rice requires fields that can be flooded with water and are necessarily extremely low-lying. A high-house is a home on higher ground that was also elevated off the ground itself in an attempt to avoid the damp ground and associated illnesses that accompanied Lowcountry summers.
