This gorgeous Jeffersonian mansion was built for Dr Alexander W Mitchell between 1828 and 1832. Dr Mitchell was one of the first plantation and slave owners that settled in this area.
In 1833 Dr Mitchell sold the mansion and the 1,680 acre (680 hectare) plantation to Issac Winston. The property stayed in the Winston family until 1941.
