Millwood is the site and ruins of an antebellum plantation house at 6100 Garner's Ferry Road (US 76), Columbia, South Carolina.

[4] Wade Hampton II (1791–1858) was called Colonel due to a commission in the South Carolina Militia.

He served in the Confederate Army by leading Hampton's Legion rising to the rank of lieutenant general.

In 1837 or 1838, Millwood was remodeled in Greek Revival style by the architect Nathaniel Potter from Rhode Island.

The central section of the sketch resembled the extant Millford Plantation house, which was built by Hampton's youngest sister and brother-in-law in Sumter County, South Carolina.

With wide folding doors between these rooms, the entire width of the house could be open for entertaining and dancing.

Because of the elegant entertaining and powerful guests, Millwood has been called the "social center of South Carolina" in the antebellum period.

In addition to major South Carolina politicians, planters, and "aristocracy," national guests included Henry Clay and Daniel Webster.

The Hampton family plantations in the area including Millwood, the old Woodlands, and Diamond Hill were set ablaze.

This was burned by arsonists after the bitterly contested gubernatorial election that Wade Hampton III won in 1876.
