White Hall Plantation Chimney Ruins, circa 1920
01
Artifact Overview
Henry Ford purchased vast amounts of land around present-day Richmond Hill, Georgia, beginning in the 1920s. Here, Ford dabbled in agricultural experimentation and in the late 1930s built a winter residence. Scattered on the 85,000 acres of Ford property were several pre-Civil War plantation houses -- or their ruins. The house at White Hall burned in 1914.
