Godiah Spray Tobacco Plantation, Bringing the Farm to Life
Godiah Spray Tobacco Plantation: Bringing the Farm to Life
Step back in time and experience the sights, sounds, and smells of a working 17th-century farm. At the Godiah Spray Tobacco Plantation, Historic St. Mary’s City staff bring history to life as they portray the daily rhythms of a middling-class household in colonial Maryland.
Explore authentic structures, stroll through heirloom gardens and tobacco fields, and meet the cows, pigs, and chickens that call the plantation home. This immersive site reflects the heart of tobacco culture during Maryland’s colonial era—offering a hands-on look at a world both familiar and far removed from later American plantations of the Civil War period.
