"We don't own any land and we don't own any house. God has given it to us in trust, to make into something better during our lifetime." - Ferdinanda Waring, upon selling this property to the state.

Ferdinanda Legare Waring transformed Old Towne Plantation into a place of magnificent beauty. She inherited a portion of Old Town and bought out family members by the late 1930s. Employees from her flower business and egg farm helped her cultivate the beautiful informal gardens surrounding her home. Ferdinanda's vision and stewardship protected this property and made today's public trust, Charles Towne Landing State Historic Site, possible.
