Archer Huntington bought four failed rice plantations as a winter place for his wife Anna, a sculptor with tuberculosis. She laid out gardens among the live oaks to show her own work, then others', and it became the first public sculpture garden in America and still the largest collection of American figurative sculpture anywhere. The rice fields and the enslaved people who dug them are now interpreted alongside it.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
