History

Beneath blues skies an historic gem in the crown of Beaufort's Sea Islands beckons you to step into a bygone era. Pick Pocket Plantation is a mid-19th century plantation meticulously restored. Furnished with period antiques and surrounded by classic farm structures Pick Pocket takes one back to simpler times. Open for tours Monday through Saturday visitors will be taken through the house by the Victorian Ladies, Miss Millie and Miss Kim, in period costume and then stroll the plantation grounds to view the many outbuildings.

I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for...

John Deere?
Look closer, it isn't a small tractor, it's an ice cream machine!
Today Mr. Keith debuted the best homemade ice cream ever made!
Millie enjoyed a bowl of this creamy Vanilla delicacy which was the perfect compliment to the sweltering afternoon heat at the Farmer's Market.
While several of us indulged in the frosty ice cream treat Miss Abigail modeled her new dresses for us.
She definately exudes the elegance of a young Victorian lady:).
Don't worry if you missed the Farmer's Market this week-
the fun, food, and friendship will happen again next Tuesday at Pick Pocket Plantation from 2:00-7:00.

Victorian Ladies Society of Beaufort

Step back in time as you meander down the dirt drive of Pick Pocket Plantation
with this mid-19th century Victorian farmhouse looming before you.
 The Victorian era was named for the reigning Queen Victoria and encompassed a time of splender, beauty, graciousness, and dignity.
If you marvel at the simple beauty of stained glass,
 the velvety petals of a rose,
 the mystery behind antique photos,
 or the intracacies of carved cameos
 then the Victorian Ladies Society of Beaufort is the place for you.
 We will meet the second Saturday of each month at Pick Pocket Plantation for tea...
 and conversation with others who share a love of times gone by.
 Join us on the second Saturday of September at 9:00 AM at Pick Pocket Plantation
for the first meeting of this history loving group of ladies.
 A presentation will take place at each meeting about a different aspect of Victorian life ranging from fashion to jewelry, architecture, mourning practices, and other fascinating areas.
Future activities include day trips to historic mansions in surrounding areas, visits to teahouses, a Victorian literature book club, and special Victorian events held at Pick Pocket Plantation.
For more information about the society please contact us at
812-3589 (Kim)
271-1869 (Millie)
We are looking forward to making your aquaintance:).
Blessings,
Millie and Kim
