Description

The Garvin House is the earliest-known home owned by a freed slave along the May River, the home being built by Cyrus Garvin in 1870 with materials spared by Union troops when they burned Bluffton seven years earlier. Garvin most likely had been a slave of Joseph Baynard, whose plantation home stood on the site before being destroyed by federal forces during the Civil War. The home remained in the Garvin family until the 1960s.
