The history being showcased in this plantation site isn’t the most pleasant, from slavery to a family feud, there’s nothing extremely fun about this location. However, it’s a site where you can learn from human error and also about how much people in the past relied on agriculture. At the Abner Jackson Plantation Site, you’ll discover more about the sugar making process and the effects of a devastating hurricane.
