Cedar Grove is one of the earliest of the grand plantation houses of Edgefield County. Built by a prosperous early settler, John Blocker, between 1790 and 1805, this house has many remarkable architectural features, including a curved ceiling in the hallway, elaborately carved mantelpieces and hand-painted French wallpaper. The gardens were reputedly laid out by Andre Michaux, the renowned botanist who had designed the gardens at Middleton Place in Charleston. The house was purchased in 1825 by John Bones, a wealthy Augusta merchant, for his parents who had immigrated from Ireland. It was handed down through the Bones, Hughes and Nicholson families who continued to own it until 1973. Current owners have made noteworthy, period-appropriate repairs in restoring the house within the last 2 years. To view documentation of their journey search for Cedar Grove on YouTube.

Camellias are special to the South and were first introduced in South Carolina 1786 by French botanist André Michaux to Middleton place. In Edgefield, camellias arrived with Governor Francis Pickens before the Civil War. The camellia tea is a special tradition in the town of Edgefield, South Carolina each February. The event first began in the 1940s, disappeared for decades and began again in 2008. More than 200 beautiful camellia blooms ranging from 1790s to 2000s are on display, from local gardens. Each bloom is labeled with name and date and resides in a glass vase within the historic Magnolia Dale, 1843 house museum. Guests attend for free and enjoy a fine array of homemade tea refreshments on silver platters and hot Russian tea as they peruse the blooms and enjoy the pleasant afternoon. FREE
