OK, am I wrong, but I always thought plantation houses were big. Maybe I've seen Gone with the Wind too many times. Course, this house was built back in 1772 and still bares the scares from the Revolutionary War skirmish that took place on this property between the landowner Phillip Alston and his band of Patriot militiamen and some local Torie loyalists in late July or early August 1781. I hope our country never forgets their sacrifice or takes their freedoms for granted. For Nov. word for today, forgotten.
It was possibly quite a big house for that time. To think, that house was built before Australia was discovered by the Europeans!! Great shot, love the carpet of leaves and the old fence posts.
@joansmor My first experience living in the deep South, so I have to learn that real life doesn't really mirror Hollywood movies! LOL! @joeymc It pre-dates the USA, but so did a lot of stuff where we lived in New Hampshire. By today's standards, it's average size.
@joemuli@digitalrn Thanks. I wish I could have gone inside and taken pictures. It's only open certain times of the year for special events. @paulam Thanks!
@anazad511@silverhorn@thresheg Thanks so much for the FAV! @sangwann@lan@taffy Thanks! @skippysue The land around it is beautiful. I got some pictures of the soybeans growing a round it, too, but I didn't post it. When I drove up, I scared away two whitetail deer resting right in front of the house. They ran off through the soybeans and I didn't see them again.
