Lewisfield Plantation is a historic plantation home located near Moncks Corner, Berkeley County, South Carolina. It was built about 1774, and is a 2 1/2-half story clapboard dwelling. It is supported by a high brick foundation that encloses a raised basement. It has a five bay wide verandah supported by six slender Doric order columns. A Revolutionary War skirmish occurred directly in front of the house when Colonel Wade Hampton (1752–1835) surprised a British force that had stopped at Lewisfield Plantation to await a paroled prisoner of war, Keating Simons.[2][3]
It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[1]
