(Back): Orton Plantation, one of the interesting, historical
beauty spots preserved from the cradle of America. Built in 1725 by
King Roger Moore, the original house still comprises the central
part of the building; surrounded by beautiful trees, festooned with
Spanish Moss. Exquisite gardens, artistically planned, where
Azaleas, Camellias, Rhododendrons and other beautiful shrubbery,
growing in profusion, surround the premises. These gardens are open
to visitors at a moderate fee. The impressive walls of Colonial St.
Philip's Church and the site of the residence of three Colonial
Governors are adjacent to these gardens.
