Developed from four former rice plantations is the Brookgreen Gardens in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina. It was established in 1932 by the Huntingtons on 9200 acres of land, a portion of which is included as a National Historic Landmark along with the Atalaya Castle, under the listing of Atalaya and Brookgreen Gardens.

The Brookgreen Gardens has a lot to offer, really.

There?s also the Archer and Anna Hyatt Huntington Sculpture Garden which features 1444 artworks by Anna Huntington and other artists.
