Description
In 1680 the Magnolia Plantation house was built by John Drayton. The original house lasted only until 1865 when it was destroyed by Union Troops. The existing house was built in 1873 and is open to the public for tours. One of the most notable features of the plantation grounds are the gardens. Known as the first American Garden, countless indigenous plants have grown here for more than two hundred years. The gardens are home to the nation’s largest compilation of azaleas and camellias. Also to be experienced on the estate is the 60 acre Audubon Swamp garden, Biblical Gardens, Barbados Tropical Garden, train tours, petting zoo, wildlife observation tower, art gallery, horticulture maze, nature trails, 18th century herb garden, and antebellum cabin.
