Kingsley Plantation, Plantation at Fort George Island, Jacksonville, United States.
The 60-acre site contains Florida's oldest standing plantation house and a village of tabby concrete slave cabins along the Fort George River.
Zephaniah Kingsley managed the plantation from 1797 to 1822, operating a cotton production facility and implementing an unusual system of slave management.
Archaeological excavations at the slave quarters revealed artifacts demonstrating how enslaved individuals maintained African traditions within the plantation environment.
The National Park Service offers free admission to the grounds, with guided tours of the main house available during scheduled weekend hours.
Anna Madgigine Jai transitioned from an enslaved person to a freed plantation manager after her marriage to Zephaniah Kingsley in 1806.
