"Worth the Trip" 5 bubbles PAST REVIEW "My husband & I toured Hofwyl-Broadfield rice plantation between Darien and Brunswick , GA yesterday. We were staying in St. Marys, GA and the short jaunt up I-95 was worth the effort. This rice plantation is less ornate than most cotton and tobacco plantations of the South, reflecting the life style of the descendants who lived in the house until 1973. Ranger Andy provided an interesting and informative tour of the living quarters owned by generations of Brailsfords, Troups, and Dents. The tree covered grounds are spectacular and the numerous outbuildings are each described with identification markers. The museum houses artifacts and pictorial displays of both slave and owner lives of the rice farm. The hostesses at the information desk were cordial and helpful. Dame1214 Guys Mills, Pennsylvania,
