The plantation was founded in 1777 under the name Mount Locust, and the name was changed by Samuel Postlethwait when he purchased the plantation. This item has been aggregated as part of the Association of Southeastern Research Libraries (ASERL)'s "Deeply Rooted: The Agricultural & Rural History of the American South" project.
