Bernard Baruch assembled fourteen former rice plantations into a 16,000-acre winter retreat and hosted Roosevelt for a month in the spring of 1944, when the president was seriously ill and the visit was described publicly as a rest. Churchill and Pershing came too. Baruch's daughter left the whole property as a research reserve, so it is one of the few Lowcountry estates never subdivided.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
