Historical Note

Rose Hill Plantation was located on the Waccamaw River near Georgetown, S.C. It was originally home to members of the Alston family. The house was destroyed by an accidental fire in 1908 and the property was purchased by Dr. Isaac Emerson in 1909. Emerson's grandson, George Vanderbilt, later inherited the property in 1931.
