Hofwyl-Broadfield Plantation State Historic Site is located in Brunswick, Georgia. It is a preserved 19th century rice plantation located on the Altamaha River. The plantation was founded in 1804 and operated as a successful rice plantation for nearly 100 years. The plantation is made up of a 2,000 acre tract of marsh and upland land, including the main house, outbuildings, and a cemetery.

The main house, built in 1807, is a two-story clapboard structure with a raised center hall and a full-width porch. It is furnished with items that were used by the planter and his family. There are also several outbuildings scattered around the house, which include a kitchen, a smokehouse, a dairy, a blacksmith shop, and an original slave cabin. The cemetery serves as a reminder of the African-American heritage of the plantation and contains markers that date back to the 1820s.

Visitors can explore the grounds of the plantation and learn about its history. A guided tour of the house is available, and there are also exhibits, nature trails, and a museum. The plantation is open to the public year-round and offers a variety of educational and recreational activities.
