Latta Plantation - Huntersville, NC
Historic Latta Plantation
This is a living history farm that was built around 1800 by James Latta, an Irish Immigrant. He was a successful merchant and traveled to Philadelphia quite often and it's said that he hired many German woodworkers to work on the interior. It had many extravagant carvings and details. The house remained a working property until the 1950's and is now owned and preserved by the Latta Plantation Nature Preserve, part of Mecklenburg County.
Local Church where many of the Latta family members are buried.
