Hanover was built in 1716 for French Huguenot Paul de St. Julien in Berkeley County, South Carolina. St. Julien named his lowcountry plantation Hanover after the English monarch George I. The house remained in the St. Julien and Ravenel families for nearly 150 years. Threatened with demolition in 1941, Hanover was moved to Clemson University, home to the state's architectural school. It stood on the main campus until it was relocated to the South Carolina Botanical Garden in 1994. Reminiscent of Colonial Williamsburg, Hanover is preserved today as a monument of early French Colonial architecture. The museum contains 18th and 19th century artifacts.The restoration has been aided by the Spartanburg Committee of the National Society of the Colonial Dames of America. The home is open to the public Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to noon, and 1:00 until 5:00 p.m. Sunday the home is open from 2:00 until 5:00 p.m.
