This plantation coupled with the nearby Fairntosh Plantation
made up one of the largest estates in the south. Run by a single
family, the plantation was established at the end of the 18th
Century.
The Georgian-style house that was built for the family still
stands there today as a testament to the prosperity of pre-Civil
War times. The slave quarters stand as a monument to the long days
of the slave. Today archaeologists and historians are also
interested in the area because of the Native Americans that lived
there before the land became a booming plantation.9:02 - 30.0 miles / 59 minutes - 10:02
