Plum Orchard

Plum Orchard

Plum Orchard is an estate located in the middle of the western shore of Cumberland Island, Georgia. The estate and surrounding area are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Designed by Peabody and Stearns for George Lauder Carnegie, it was formally dedicated on October 6, 1898. Peabody and Stearns also designed various additions to the mansion in the several following years. The estate is now part of Cumberland Island National Seashore.

The mansion includes a rare squash tennis court.

An automatic fire sprinkler system, complete with fire pump and water tank, was installed by Allsouth Sprinkler Company. Installation was completed in early 2008.
