Horton House Historic Site, Colonial historic site in Jekyll Island, United States.

Horton House is a two-story tabby house built in 1743, its facade of grey and tan shell-stone concrete weathered to expose orange-brown patches. Five rectangular windows remain on the upper level; below are two windows, a central open doorway, and two more windows, all without glass or frames. The flat-roofed wall stands on Riverview Drive, with trees behind it.

Major William Horton built this house in 1743 after Spanish forces burned down his first building, making it one of the oldest surviving structures in Georgia. The DuBignon family took over the property in the late 18th century and used it for different purposes.

Across Riverview Drive from the Horton House ruins stands the du Bignon cemetery, a tabby wall enclosing the graves of five people: Ann Amelia du Bignon, Joseph du Bignon, Marie Felicite Riffault, Hector deLiyannis and George Harvey. The cemetery, the house and the Brewery Ruins were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.

The grounds are open year-round and have educational panels on site that explain the historical context of what you are looking at. The site is easy to combine with other stops on Jekyll Island, which has several historic and natural points of interest nearby.

William Horton ran what is considered Georgia's first brewery on this property, supplying beer to the nearby Frederica Settlement. He also grew crops to feed the colony, which shows how much activity this single property supported at the time.
