Free ebook from Amazon - Slave Narratives from Florida
Fort George Island was a Sea Island cotton plantation during the 25 years that it was owned by Zephaniah Kingsley. The plantation house, outbuildings and slave houses are still standing. Displays in some of the buildings and signs scattered around the grounds, give insight into the interesting story of this family and the slaves who lived and worked in the cotton fields.
The site is partially accessible. The pathway is made from shredded rubber, a little spongy which requires some effort to push along. The pathway goes to the main buildings. Many of the signs are off the path. The ground is uneven and hard to push along.
A one lane sandy road leads to the plantation. The road is in good condition but people with large RVs may want to avoid it because of overhanging branches and the narrow width of the road. The parking lot is large enough for RVs. Plantation
