The plantation's inhabitants were part of the genteel “low country” Georgia society, and managed to grow rice until 1913 — unusual for the area. Now there are marshlands where the rice used to grow, and you will see them (and the many species of bird they shelter) as you walk along the nature trail from the house to the visitor's center. Take the guided tour of the house for a sense of what low country society was like before the Civil War. You will learn how ladies sat in their hoop skirts and where one put the pesky bones when eating fish at a formal meal.After you visit the plantation, take some time out for Lady Jane’s Shrimp and Dolphin Cruise. Sit back and enjoy fabulous boiled shrimp while a naturalist gives you a talk on the various sea mammals, fish, and birds you are seeing, including information about ecology and conservation.

Be careful to arrive at the dock in plenty of time — well before the “boarding” time — so that you are able to get aboard.Coastal Georgia is not only beautiful but interesting as well, with a rich history and breathtaking natural sights.
