Jekyll Island, GA 31527
Located on Jekyll Island, Georgia, the Horton House Historic Site is a captivating relic of the state's colonial past. Built in the 18th century by Major William Horton, the plantation house's tabby walls and ruins stand as a silent reminder of Georgia's rich history.
Once the center of a thriving plantation for over 140 years, the Horton House is now open to the public and maintained by the Jekyll Island Historic District. Visitors can explore the time-scarred walls, historical plaques, and markers, as well as the nearby DuBignon Cemetery, offering beautiful views of the Marshes of Glynn.
