The City of Barnwell is home to many beautiful historic homes, like the Ryan House pictured here. Constructed around 1823, this house was a headquarters for the Union Army during the Civil War.

Former owners of the house say that its ballroom was used for Catholic Church services, and that Edgar Brown, a long time Democratic legislator of South Carolina from Barnwell County, rented a room upstairs when he first moved to Barnwell.

When I return to visit my home town I always enjoy seeing these beautiful homes. Barnwell County is full of them.
I love seeing these homes when I come home to visit. Ryan House is still beautiful now as it was in the 1960’s when I first saw it.
