Mansfield Plantation
Step back in time at this old rice plantation, established way back in 1718 on the banks of the Black River. The house lies at the end of “Oak Alley,” a long avenue with large live-oak trees draped in moss. Beyond lies an original encampment of slave cabins, church, and slave school house. Rooms at Mansfield are tastefully decorated in period style, but the breakfasts are the real highlight, served in a fabulous dining room crammed with antiques. Everything is good, but the stuffed French toast is sublime. The indefatigable Kathryn Green is a wonderful host and will bend over backwards to make your stay a happy one. The house is around a 10-minutes’ drive from central Georgetown. The plantation served as the backdrop for scenes from movie The Patriot (2000).
