Horton-duBignon House (Brewery Ruins)

Site of Georgia's first brewerry. Large pieces of tabby seen here on the bank of the creek, now known as Bignon Creek, mark the site of the first brewery established in Georgia. Crops of barley, rye and hops, planted and raised in Horton’s fields on Jekyll, were used in making beer for the soldiers at nearby Frederica on St. Simons Island. This site is in the National Register of Historic Places.
