About this park

Redcliffe Plantation State Historic Site was completed in 1859 as the home of James Henry Hammond, a cotton planter, congressman, governor and senator who defended the plantation system. Three generations of his descendants lived here too. The site also tells the story of the African-American families, including the Henleys, Goodwins and Wigfalls, who worked there as enslaved laborers and later as free people. Guided tours cover the historic structures and the lives of both groups. The grounds are free to explore and a good place for a walk.
