house, farm, farmhouse, plantation, historic landmark
This farm and private residence six miles east of Washington, Georgia, in Wilkes County, has been known as Mount Pleasant since the 18th Century, when it was the plantation and home of Colonial Statesman and American Patriot, Sir John Talbot (1735 - 1798). Talbot is buried in the nearby Smyrna Churchyard Cemetery, which was established on land he donated.
Mount Pleasant served as the Talbot family home for several generations and the old two story, wood framed house with multiple porches and chimneys, and a massive rear kitchen, still stands today. It was while staying at Mount Pleasant as a children's tutor that Eli Whitney perfected and received his patent for the cotton gin.
