Reviews
"Very informational monument. Its very heartbreaking to think of what happened to the slaves that lived there. There are plenty of places to park and places to see. From the plantation home, to the refining barn, to the slave quarters. You truly do step back into a different era."
"What an incredible walk through history, we have learned a lot. Everything is super well taken care of. There are informative audios and readings and a park ranger willing to answer your questions, very friendly. You can come with the whole family and have a good day, there are benches to enjoy the views of the river and large green areas where children can play. Highly recommended, it was well worth every last minute here. It is inside the Fort George Island Cultural State Park."
"This was a great outing with the family. A major kudos to the park ranger who sits in the house. He was such a bucket of information. There is no way to learn it all in ten minutes, but you could definitely listen to him for hours. I highly recommend this place whether you drive in, or kayak in. If you kayak, make sure to avoid the low tide... Don't get stuck like I almost did a few years ago haha. Anyway, a great place to bring a lunch and take in some history. To reflect on where we have been and where we are going."
"This was one of the best Historical places I have been to in a while It was not only easy to lose track of time but to invision the ships arriving heavy laden with supplies for the Plantation. Mrs. Anna Kinsley would have been so interesting to have met! You can read about her journey once you arrive in her house. The garden & mock supper are quaint. Do make sure to check out the dock! Beware to check your tide charts though ,some of the roads to the Plantation can get a little sketchy during high tide."
"Very nice place to bring the family and learn not just a little of Florida history but the darker side of our history here in the south. Very happy things aren't this way anymore. Very informative and very eye-opening none the less. Would love to come on a day when they do the tours. They also have kayak tie offs and boat dock in the rear of the peoperty"
