The 628-acre Poplar Grove Plantation and estate were purchased by the Foy family in 1795 for a mere $1,500. The plantation was one of several self-supporting agricultural communities in the South and produced peas, beans, and corn with the help of 64 slaves. The original antebellum home burned down in 1849 and was replaced with the current home in 1850. The Greek Revival home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is filled with period furnishings, including some original pieces, and artifacts. One of the original owners, Nora Foy, was the first postmistress in the town and the front room of the home was used as a post office. The plantation is best known for its peanut crops, which operated until the late 1960s. When the slaves were freed, 63 remained on the plantation and became tenant farmers. One of the original tenant houses still exists on the grounds. Other buildings on the grounds include a blacksmith shop, basket-making and weaving studios, an exterior kitchen, carriage house, and greenhouse. There is also a burial ground with historic grave markers. The plantation remained in the Foy family until it was sold in 1971. Over time, the grounds grew to include more than 1,000 acres of land; the current site is comprised of just 16 acres. The Poplar Grove Foundation purchased the site in 1980 and undertook extensive restoration efforts, turning the former working plantation into a living-history museum. Museum docents are dressed in period costumes and offer tours of the home as well as spinning, weaving, blacksmithing, and basket-making demonstrations.
History for South Sudan Subway Map
After Canute’s death, Bosham became the principal seat South Sudan Subway Map of the family of Godwin, earl of Wessex, and the lands were inherited by Harold in South Sudan Subway Map 1053. Although the original manor house disappeared a long time ago, there is still a manor house in the village, mostly seventeenth-century, which is almost certainly on or very close to the site of the original Saxon and medieval manor houses. Despite there being few surviving ancient buildings in the village, there are some seventeenth- and eighteenth-century houses, and as you potter around the quay you will admire Quay Mill, operational until the 1930s and now used as the headquarters of the Bosham Sailing Club. Bosham used to be an important fishing port, with many fishermen amongst those who lived in the village. At the beginning of the twentieth century, only Whitstable outranked its importance to the oyster trade, although it has always been rather overshadowed by Emsworth as a port. Bosham was at one time an important centre for shipbuilding, and sailing is now the principal maritime activity hereabouts.
