Fortune Hill Plantation On San Salvador Island In The Bahamas

Fortune Hill is one of three plantation sites on the island. A former cotton plantation owned by Loyalist, Mr. Burton Williams, Fortune Hill is believed to be the first and the largest on the island. The plantation was constructed from cut limestone in the Georgian architectural style popular in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Remnants of the great house, slave quarters, and agricultural buildings remain today. Fortune Hill is located along the east coast of San Salvador.
