Located at 1 Low Country Lane in Yemassee, South Carolina, the Frampton Plantation House is a historic property that dates back to the 1700s.

It was rebuilt in 1868 by John Frampton and underwent major renovations in the 1930s. In 1993, the property was donated to the Lowcountry Tourism Commission for the creation of the Lowcountry Visitor's Center and Museum. Today, the house has been restored and serves as the headquarters for the Lowcountry & Resort Islands Tourism Commission.
