Mary Plantation spans 7 1/2 acres of fertile river ground with groves of ancient oaks twisted and bended through time as if they were speaking the untold stories of the love and life they witnessed through their centuries. Sitting quietly, one can hear the distant echoes of the past and feel a heartfelt devotion to Mary where many souls labored, lived and loved. Mary is undergoing a wonderful transformation with the recent addition of a beautiful meandering walking trail circling the plantation grounds and a charming wedding chapel.
