This beautiful plantation represents the history and culture of Georgia’s rice coast. In the early 1800s, William Brailsford of Charleston carved a rice plantation from marshes along the Altamaha River. The plantation and its inhabitants were part of the genteel low country society that developed during the antebellum period. While many factors made rice cultivation increasingly difficult in the years after the Civil War, the family continued to grow rice until 1913.The enterprising siblings of the fifth generation at Hofwyl-Broadfield resolved to start a dairy rather than sell their family home. The efforts of Gratz, Miriam and Ophelia Dent led to the preservation of their family legacy. Ophelia was the last heir to the rich traditions of her ancestors, and she left the plantation to the state of Georgia in 1973.A museum features silver from the family collection and a model of Hofwyl-Broadfield during its heyday. A brief film on the plantation’s history is shown before visitors walk a short trail to the antebellum home. A guided tour allows visitors to see the home as Ophelia kept it with family heirlooms, 18th and 19th century furniture and Cantonese china. A stop on the Colonial Coast Birding Trail, this is an excellent spot to look for herons, egrets, ibis and painted buntings. A nature trail that leads back to the Visitors Center along the edge of the marsh where rice once flourished.

"We are visitors from France. We found a wonderful story of 5 generations of people who loved the land and worked like slaves (as well as wilh slaves earlier on) to keep and improve their legacy.
The staff and volunteers are devoted to the farmstead (it is not a stately home) and Andy guided us wi..."th a philosophy and asides that were as fascinating as the stories he recounted.
It is modestly priced but offers you a wonderful 2 - 3 hour insiight into the past. It is a pitythat budget constraints has restricted the dys of opening to Thursday through Sunday (but do check, these things change).
While in the area, the King Goerge Fort is also well worth a visit and a visit to one gets you a discount to the other visit. Ask and you will receive!!!!
PS If you cannot walk through the lovely grounds they will ferry you the 400 yards to the house.
Merci beaucoup pour une matinee merveileuse.

"We are Northerners so getting to visit an old plantation was something I have always wanted to do. Reading about it in books is one thing, seeing it is another! The house and grounds are beautiful, the staff is knowledgeable. The educational experience excellent! The home, with all of it's origi..."nal furnishings, is a treat.

"My daughter and I really enjoyed our time at the plantation. We received plenty of information, but what we enjoyed the most was how close we were able to come to the authentic items of the plantation itself. It was a step back in time."
