Kingsley Plantation, Plantation museum in Jacksonville, United States.
The Kingsley Plantation spans across Fort George Island, containing the oldest standing plantation house in Florida and a set of preserved slave cabins.
Zephaniah Kingsley established this plantation in the early 1800s, operating it for 25 years as both a farming operation and a center for slave trade.
The plantation exhibits the complex social structure of Spanish Florida, where free people of color maintained certain rights within the three-tier social system.
The National Park Service offers free admission to visitors, with guided tours of the planter's house available during specific weekend hours.
The site contains slave quarters constructed from tabby, a concrete-like mixture of oyster shells, lime, sand, and water typical of coastal architecture.
