Historical, Southern Charm
Originally built in 1785 by Reverend James Graham, CIRCA 1785 is a beautifully restored landmark that reflects Beaufort’s rich and meaningful history. Designed in classic Federal-style architecture, the property has been thoughtfully preserved to celebrate its timeless character while offering a refined guest experience.
Guest rooms blend historic charm with modern comfort, featuring restored hardwood floors, decorative fireplaces, soaring ceilings, king canopy beds, and elegant marble bathrooms with rain showers. Original plaster walls remain throughout the home, creating an authentic sense of place and connection to the past.
Known as “The Mission,” the property also played a significant role during the Reconstruction era as the founding site of the Mather School, which provided education to African Americans. Today, guests can experience this remarkable heritage while enjoying a stay in the heart of the Downtown Beaufort Historic District.
Begin your morning with freshly brewed coffee from the lobby coffee bar, then unwind in the evening at The Mission Honor Bar, a self-service wine bar exclusively for guests, located just off the charming second-floor piazza.
