Kilkenny, Historic estate in Bryan County, United States
The 662-acre Kilkenny property features a wooden frame house situated along Kilkenny Creek with views of tidal salt marshes in Georgia.
Thomas Young owned the estate from 1758 until 1836, when Charles Rogers purchased it and established a Sea Island cotton cultivation operation.
The property transformation into the Kilkenny Club in 1890 marked a shift from agricultural functions to recreational purposes for summer fishing activities.
The National Register of Historic Places designation provides property owners access to preservation resources and potential tax benefits for maintaining historical structures.
During the Civil War, the estate experienced direct confrontation when a Union gunboat stationed at Bear River opened fire on the property.
