Henry Ford purchased vast amounts of land around present-day Richmond Hill, Georgia, beginning in the 1920s. Ford eventually acquired 85,000 acres, and in the 1930s he built a winter residence there. His purchases included several pre-Civil War plantations. White Hall was a cotton plantation owned by the Arnold family. The family cemetery was located on the grounds and preserved by the Fords.
