National Historic Landmark- Mulberry Plantation (James and Mary Boykin Chestnut House)

Mulberry is nationally significant in the area of American literature for its association with Mary Boykin Chestnut's remarkable first-hand account of southern society during the Civil War.

Her war-time diary, acknowledged as the most important piece of Confederate literature, is also recognized for its contributions to our understanding of southern culture and society.
