Hobcaw Barony's soil holds South Carolina's history and future
Original: 'This is history in soil': At Georgetown's Hobcaw Barony, past and future of SC is coated in mud
At Hobcaw Barony, a 16,000-acre former plantation and research reserve near Georgetown, South Carolina, researchers and historians are reading the soil itself as a record of the state's past, from plantation-era agriculture to coastal change. The story frames the mud and soil of the site as both an archive of South Carolina's history and a key to understanding its environmental future along the vulnerable coast.
Why now: Interest in coastal heritage and climate change makes soil-based environmental history at a historic South Carolina site newsworthy
