Album Info:
"Hofwyl-Broadfield stems from the 'Broadface' property acquired around 1806 by William Brailsford and his son-in-law James M. Troup. From the virgin cypress swamps along the Altamaha River, Brailsford carved a rice plantation which he named 'Broadfield.' The name 'Hofwyl' was added in the early 1850s when Ophelia Troup and her husband, George Dent, constructed the house that stands today at Hofwyl-Broadfield. It was named for the school Dent attended in Switzerland."
