Visiting Afton Villa

The beautiful gardens of Afton Villa once surrounded an epic gothic antebellum mansion that was destroyed in a fire during the 1960’s. Today the gardens serve as a memorial to lost Southern history. The grounds and gardens include the ruins, the formal parterre garden, the music room, the daffodil valley, and a historic family cemetery. Draped in Spanish Moss, surrounded by verdant green lawns and finely manicured topiary! The estate contains over 20 acres of formal gardens and pleasure grounds, including the famous ruins gardens, a formal parterre garden, a daffodil valley, a historic family cemetery, and more.
