LeConte-Woodmanston, an 18th -19th century rice plantation, is located just west of Riceboro in Liberty County, Georgia. The plantation, originally 3300 acres in size, was threatened by the Spanish, during their occupation of Florida, as well as by certain Native Americans in the area. It was home to the famous LeConte family and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
Current structures and features include the home site, a pavilion, a period tool shed, a slave cabin, a gazebo, an office, the nature trail, gardens and the Jean Clyatt Avenue of Oaks.
The nature trail leads over a trunk canal to former rice fields and a cypress swamp. Signs identifying plants and wildlife are in place along the trail. Coastal wildlife is plentiful year round. Hiking the trail will expose you to the mysteries of the swamp and is an experience you won't want to miss!
The gardens have a history and beauty all their own and include native, exotic and historic plants. Check our "Gardens" and "Garden History" pages for details.
