Three Chimneys Walking Talk & Tour by Ormond Beach Historical Society
Originally known as the Swamp Settlement, this historic site was established around 1768 on a portion of 20,000 acres that were granted by King George III to a wealthy Scottish slave trader named Richard Oswald. The 300 cleared acres, with several substantial buildings, was the first successful British sugar plantation, sugar mill and rum distillery in the United States, and was operated until England ceded Florida back to Spain after the Revolutionary War.
