Historic Haile Homestead at Kanapaha Plantation
In 1854 Thomas Evans and Serena Chesnut Haile established this 1500-acre Sea Island cotton plantation that they named Kanapaha. The Historic Haile Homestead is known for its “talking walls.” For some reason lost to time, the Haile family wrote on the walls of their home, in almost every room and closet. This museum stands as a snapshot of history, frozen in time.
