PLANTATIONS AND THE GOLDEN ISLES

October 25th | $159.00 | Trip #15061

The settling of Georgia by the English along its southern coast left many footprints that recount the history of the 13th British Colony. First, we stop at the Hofwyl Plantation which overlooks the marshlands of the Altamaha River, and was once the center of rice cultivation. Continuing to St Simons, one of the barrier islands of Georgia, we have lunch in the village at Barbara Jean’s before meeting our local guide. See the site of the “Battle of Bloody Marsh” where

Oglethorpe stopped the Spanish from invading the colony, before heading to the Fort Frederica

National Monument which preserves the archaeological remnants of a fort and town built by James Oglethorpe between 1736 and 1748 to protect the southern boundary. Great day of touring on this interesting and educational excursion.
