Walker Plantation at Port Royal
First known as the Retreat Plantation, the house was built about 1736 of tabby construction by Jean de la Gaye for his wife Catherine Gautier In 1769 de la Gaye returned to France and Stephen Bull next owned the land, purchasing it at auction.
Rev. Edward T. Walker (1819-1896) later owned the land and became known as The Retreat. During the War Between the States, Reverend Edward T. Walker and his wife Ann Bull Barnwell Walker fled fled to Walterboro. When Union soldiers arrived at Retreat, they pillaged the house. In doing so they found a bible hidden under the floorboards. Upon learning that the house belonged to a minister, the officer in charge reversed the order to burn the house. The bible disappeared but eighty years later when a member of the Walker family received it in the mail. The package bore a Vermont postmark but no return address. The land was later part of the Retreat Plantation.
