Goodwill Estate 1750 historic property Eastover South Carolina - the property

House overview

Steeped in history, Goodwill Plantation in Eastover, SC dates to 1750 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.

From its agricultural beginnings, Goodwill evolved to a milling operation in the late 19th century, and a hunting and fishing preserve in the early 20th century. Along the way, PT Barnum bought the estate for his granddaughter, and it became a shelter for his circus animals.
