The Stoney-Baynard Ruins Information: In Sea Pines Plantation, near the southern end of the island, stand the Stoney-Baynard Ruins. These are the remnants of the great antebellum Braddock's Point Plantation, which dates from the mid-18th century. As elsewhere across the South, Hilton Head came to prominence and prosperity on the strength of cotton, and the planters raised large houses to anchor their plantations. Though some of the homes were made of wood or brick, many in this region were constructed of tabby, which is a mixture of oyster shells, some whole and others burnt to a lime powder, as well as sand and water. The Stoney-Baynard home was thus constructed, and its ruins are a monument to the ingenuity of the design and materials used in these grand homes.
