Wild Heron, Historic plantation house in Georgia, United States.
The Wild Heron plantation house stands on a 500-acre property, featuring architectural elements characteristic of eighteenth-century coastal Georgia and South Carolina designs.
Francis Henry Harris acquired the property between 1752 and 1756, establishing it as a rice plantation that operated for over two hundred years under the same family lineage.
The plantation house demonstrates the agricultural practices, architectural methods, and social structures that shaped early American colonial settlements in the southeastern region.
The National Register of Historic Places designation ensures federal protection measures and enables visitors to explore this preserved example of colonial architecture near Savannah.
Wild Heron holds the distinction of being the oldest standing plantation house in the Savannah area, with original structural elements dating back to the 1750s.
