UGA Students, Professor To Help Restore Plantation

BRUNSWICK - Tim Walsh squatted at the edge of one of the historic buildings at Hofwyl-Broadfield Plantation Historic Site and broke off a piece.

Normally, that would get a visitor at the state-owned rice plantation in trouble, but Walsh is leading a group of University of Georgia students in a field study in which they fix as well as learn.

As he examined the classic board-and-batten construction, Walsh demonstrated to half a dozen students how the skirting had rotted and only a thick coating of white paint was holding it together. Click HERE to read the full story in today's Athens Banner-Herald.
