Professors Ward, Stiefel, and Muldrow are in the beginning stages of creating a Cultural Landscapes Report for the 16,000 acre cultural landscape in Georgetown County known as Hobcaw Barony. Managed by the Belle W. Baruch Foundation, the site is comprised of several colonial and antebellum plantation sites and is today operated as wildlife refuge. The study will be a comprehensive analysis of human effects on the Lowcountry site over time, from the Native American and pre-contact period to the present. Architectural analysis of vernacular buildings with draw upon Muldrow’s earlier measured drawings and reports from 2003.
