Ames plantation is gorgeous. My grandfather built stables and barns for them back in his day, very glad to see they are still up and well maintained.

I was in West Tennessee for business and decided to take a detour over to Ames Plantation in Fayette County to visit the graves of some family members. The Ames Plantation was originally named Cedar Grove by its original owner John W. Jones who had settled there in the 1820s. The large cotton plantation was one of the most productive in the area. I hadn't been to the plantation in years. I've never visited this Plantation as a tourist. I've only come here when a family member passes away and is buried here at the Old Jones Cemetery. But I will say, it amazes me how they have kept the plantation intact after all these years. When I was a child, I saw workers (sharecroppers or indentured servants) working those cotton fields and it was the strangest site. I didn't see any workers this trip, but one thing was clear during my drive to and from the Ames Plantation, cotton is still king in this part of the state.

Very educational. I was quite thrilled at seeing what once was and how it has evolved into modern day.
