We have something along those lines very close to my hometown called Brookgreen Gardens.<br><br>From Wikipedia: <i>Brookgreen Gardens is a sculpture garden and wildlife preserve just south of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina.<br><br>Originally, what is now Brookgreen Gardens was six separate rice plantations. The actual gardens was Brookgreen Plantation. To the south of Brookgreen Plantation lay the Alston's plantation. Its tie to fame is that the owner's wife was the daughter of the infamous Vice President Aaron Burr, Theodosia Burr Alston. On a trip to see her father as governor of New York, her ship was lost at sea. Her ghost is reported to still wander the grounds of the plantation searching endlessly for her father. Also to the south, lay to Oak's plantation. To the north, lay the Laurel's plantation. During the Civil War, Confederate troops dug an earthen fort to prevent Union Troops from entering the system of creeks and canals vital to survival of the rice plantations.<br><br>Brookfield Gardens was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1] The sculpture garden portion, 551 acres (2.23 km2), of Brookgreen Gardens was included in the designation of Atalaya and Brookgreen Gardens as a National Historic Landmark in 1984.[2][3] Atalaya Castle is just across U.S. 17 which cut through the former combined Huntington property.<br><br>About 550 works of American figurative sculpture are displayed at the Archer and Anna Hyatt Huntington Sculpture Garden. Many of the works are creations of sculptress Anna, but other artists are also featured. There are boat tours to Sandy Island and a self-guided tour nature trail to show off the 2000 identified species of life, including majestic longleaf pines, Spanish moss draped live oaks, and vistas of the river and nearby marshland.</i>http://www.brookgreen.org/Beach Bumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11000824454124236774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356601405469434111.post-7892159282330871132009-04-12T08:03:00.000-07:002009-04-12T08:03:00.000-07:00Whew!
