The Hill House was built by David Lesly in 1839 on a Grant of land he had received from the Queen of England. It was purchased by John Livingston Hill in 1893 and has been in the Hill family since then. Currently it is owned by his grandson, Dr. William G. Hill.

Abbeville, South Carolina, is known as the Birth Place of the Confederacy. The first meeting to discuss possible secession from the Union was held here on Secession Hill.

A tour of the house reveals many items of historical interest. The Hill House having been completely restored is now proud to share its rich heritage with visitors.
