The Wilkinson-Boineau House is a significant example of an early 19th-century Greek Revival residence with minor 20th-century alterations. William Wilkinson, a planter, established a village, Wilkinsonville, about 1830 that bears his name, and the house was the first one built. He lived for most of the year at his plantation on Swinton Creek. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places January 21, 1999.
