Snee Farm Live Oaks (and not so live oaks)

Charleston SC


George Washington had breakfast here, at Snee Farm Plantation, in 1791, during his Southern Tour.
The owner, Charles Pinckney, was one of the signatories of the US Constitution. It's possible that
these very old Oaks were part of an 'allee' leading to the house (now razed).

If you'd prefer Urban Fantasy, see this. ;-)
