Butler Island Plantation, Rice plantation near Darien, Georgia, United States.

Butler Island Plantation is a former rice plantation on Butler Island in the Altamaha River delta south of Darien, Georgia. Its main remaining structure, the two-story white clapboard Huston House built in 1927, has three arched dormer windows, a brick chimney, and a small black metal balcony above the entrance. A white wooden sign beside the door reads "The Butler Plantation." The house was destroyed by fire on June 26, 2024.

Major Pierce Butler, a Founding Father, established this rice operation in the early 1800s. After his death in 1822, the property changed ownership and operational direction.

The property's name comes from Major Pierce Butler, who owned it from 1790. His grandson Pierce Mease Butler sold 436 enslaved people at a Savannah racecourse in 1859, an event called the Weeping Time. His wife Frances Anne Kemble's 1838–1839 diary, published as Journal of a Residence on a Georgian Plantation, described conditions there and is thought to have influenced British opinion against the Confederacy.

The site is managed by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources and welcomes visitors to explore its grounds. Walking paths allow you to move through the property and observe both the historical remains and surrounding natural areas.

The 1859 auction of 436 enslaved people was held not on Butler Island but at the Ten Broeck Race Course two miles outside Savannah, after days of inspections; families were separated, and the event became known as the Weeping Time.
