Claflin University, located in Orangeburg, South Carolina, was founded in 1869 by Alonzo Webster (1818-1887), a Vermont minister. Webster came to South Carolina to teach at the Baker Bible Institute in Charleston training African American ministers for the Methodist Episcopal Church (today the United Methodist Church). In 1869 he received a charter from the state of South Carolina to establish a college that would prepare freed slaves for the responsibilities of citizenship. The first charter banned discrimination among the faculty, staff and students, making the Academy the first South Carolina university open to all regardless of race. Nonetheless, all of the students at the Academy were African American.

"We really enjoyed our stay, and we look forward to visiting again. Marianne is a wonderful host and made herself available whenever we had questions. The cottage is well appointed and cozy! Enjoyed coffee along with stunning sunrises in the morning, and cocktails and sunsets in the evening on the back deck. Be sure to walk around the property, you may come across a deer or fox, so be sure to bring your hiking boots and binoculars!"
