Mount Harmon Plantation
During the 17th and 18th centuries, Mount Harmon pros-pered as a tobacco plantation. As visitors drive the 2-mile lane, you will appreciate the isolation of the time when trans- portation moved most freely by water. Mount Harmon boasts the northernmost existing tobacco prize house. “Prize” refers to the huge wooden screw used to compress tobacco from two casks or “hogsheads” into one. The restored Plantation home (c.1730) also offers
boxwood gardens, nature trails and is open for seasonal tours for an admission fee.
