Myrtle Grove is a historic plantation in Richmond Hill, Bryan County, Georgia, United States.
American Revolutionary War hero Nathanael Greene was gifted a "Myrtle Grove plantation near Savannah from the citizens of Georgia" for his services as major general of the Continental Army.[1]
The plantation house was built in 1849, in the antebellum style, by Union Army brigadier general Richard Arnold as wedding gift for his daughter.[2]
During the 1920s and 1930, the house was owned by Pennsylvania native and district attorney Samuel Pennington Rotan.[2] After his death in January 1930, his widow, Allethaire Chase Rotan, continued to live there.[2] The house was renamed Folly Farm by the Rotans, after their former residence in Abington, Pennsylvania,[3] but was later returned to its original Myrtle Grove name after the property on which the house stands.[2][4]
It has been owned since 1964 by brothers Walter (Buck)[5] and John Meeks,[6] and has been used as a filming location for over ten movie and television productions, including Glory (1989), The Underground Railroad (2021), Emperor (2020) and The Crickets Dance (2020).[7][8] It was its appearance in Birth of a Nation (2016) that increased its popularity, however.[9]

"You can count the # of seeds in an apple, but you cannot count the number of apples in a seed" a quote said by Jay Tucker during sermon 1/12 on Fruits of the Spirit sermon.
Keep planting those seeds in your family, friends, neighbors.
