Peters Point Plantation is a historic structure located on Edisto Island, South Carolina. It was built by Isaac Jenkins Mikell in 1840 at the intersection of St. Pierre's Creek and Fishing Creek. It is located on the site General Lafayette used as a departure point from Edisto Island in 1826 during his southern tour.[2]
The plantation house displays early Edisto Island plantation and Greek Revival styles. Mikell, a Princeton graduate, was one of the wealthiest planters in the state. He served as a magistrate and commissioner of the public schools of Edisto. The house was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on June 19, 1973.[2][3]
