These ruins are on a dirt road which leads from the Ashley River road one half mile above Bacons Bridge. The settlement was founded in 1695 by the last colonists of South Carolina to come in a group and was named for their home in Massachusetts.

St. Georges Episcopal Church was built in 1719. The oldest lefible stone is dated 1773, the newest, 1920.

In back of the church, down a narrow lane, are the ruins of Fort Dorchester, built of tabby as a protection from the Indians. It stands upon a high bank of the Ashley River. There are no houses in the immediate vicinity.
