About this event
Join the Ormond Memorial Art Museum for an outdoor walking tour of Three Chimneys Historic site.
Originally known as the Swamp Settlement, this historic site was established around 1768 on a portion of 20,000 acres that were granted by King George III to a wealthy Scottish slave trader named Richard Oswald. The 300 cleared acres, with several substantial buildings, were the first successful British sugar plantation, sugar mill and rum distillery in the United States, and were operated until England ceded Florida back to Spain after the Revolutionary War.
