Searching the BHC archives for some photos of people, places, and things that represent the history (both good and bad) of our area. Plantations homes and structures are on my list for inclusion on the BHC website being created. I think this photo of Belle Grove Plantation in a state of disrepair is telling. If you are inclined to do so, please share your thoughts with me regarding which plantations should be included or excluded. Thanks.
