Frogmore is a plantation house on Edisto Island, South Carolina, built by Dr. Edward Mitchell of Waccamaw about 1820 when he married Elizabeth Baynard of Edisto Island.[2][3]

Frogmore is a distinctive antebellum sea island cotton plantation. In 1840 Dr. Mitchell operated a large plantation with more than 100 slaves. The house is a rectangular, two-story, hip-roofed residence. During the federal occupation of Edisto Island beginning in 1862, Col. More of the 55th Pennsylvania Regiment used Frogmore as his headquarters.[4]

Frogmore was Listed in the National Register May 5, 1987.[5]
