A little history behind the home: Ezekiel Harris was born in Edgefield County in 1757 and served in the Revolutionary War. Harris started building the home with a view of the Savannah River in 1797. The property served as the main residence for his family but also as a stop for tobacco merchants that needed their crop inspected and also needed a ferry across the River.
