The beloved wife of South Carolina planter, military officer and politician Plowden C. J. Weston, Emily Esdaile Weston was an English-born artist. She managed the family plantations along the Waccamaw River, a beach house on Pawleys Island and an inland cottage in Conway. Over the course of 25 years, she documented flora, fauna, landscape and architecture she encountered in Horry and Georgetown counties in graphite, ink and watercolor. Come see this window to the past.
