Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Kingsley Plantation preserves the site of the former Fort George Island cotton plantation of Zephaniah Kingsley, one of many plantation owners on the island throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. Kingsley operated the plantation between 1814 and 1837, maintaining his plantation through the labor of many enslaved men, women, and children. Today, the plantation is maintained as a living history site, showcasing the state's oldest extant plantation estate and a full row of slave cabins. Free self-guided tours are available daily, with interpretive exhibits offered throughout the plantation's grounds within its main house, its slave quarters, and its barn. A visitor information station, bookstore, and interpretive garden are also hosted on site at the plantation.
