- Description:
- Glynn County, 1945. House at Hofwyl Plantation.
2003/06/24: The Hofwyl plantation is now known as Hofwyl-Broadfield Plantation. The plantation house was probably built by slave labor in the 1850s after the destruction of the original residence. The same family lived in the house from 1804 to 1973. The plantation grew rice up until a little after the Civil War, when a lack of a cheap labor source made it difficult to cultivate rice. The family then started a dairy, which was run by Gratz, Miriam, and Ophelia Dent. The dairy supplied residents in both Glynn and McIntosh counties with milk. The Hofwyl-Broadfield Plantation is a Georgia State Historic Site. - External Identifiers:
