Edenetta was the plantation and family seat of two of the county’s most prominent and long-established families, the Warings and the Baylors. The property’s antebellum history is represented by the significant number of buildings, structures and agricultural fields it retains that were shaped and used by the enslaved African Americans who worked there for decades. Edenetta’s historic antebellum resources illustrate the wealth and productivity generated by an enslaved workforce.
