Historical Information:

Hillside was constructed in 1832 by James Hill on the estate acquired by his father in 1791. It was constructed in the Georgian style. All the materials used in the construction of this house were produced and finished on the property including the locks and other iron hardware that was forged on the site in the blacksmith shop. Slaves working on the Hillside plantation had their own chapel, cemetery and quarters.
