Davies Manor Plantation in United States

Davies Manor Plantation

Excellent Tour Guide The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and was very friendly. I found the historical tidbits very interesting, especially the story about the knotted bed and the crazy brother.

"Not" a Plantation 5 stars for the wonderful, historic plantation, but -2 stars for the tour guide.

We didn't know... That this place was so interesting. We went just to kill some time on a dreary day but were pleasantly surprised. Tour guides are volunteers but happy to spend time giving you the history of the plantation.

This historic property, located in Bartlett, includes the oldest log home in Shelby County open to the public, thirty-two acres of plantation land, and numerous outbuildings. These outbuildings range from a tenant cabin to a commissary to a gristmill to an outhouse. Additionally, the property contains several gardens, including a kitchen garden and a medicinal herb garden. In the future, visitors will also be able to enjoy an arboretum and nature trails. Our current interpretive program primarily consists of docent-led tours of the log home and a self-guided walking tour of the grounds and outbuildings.
