ORTON HOUSE (1725-1840-1910) 
Orton Plantation’s beautiful Gardens, magnificient 
trees and dramatic Colonial history offer the vistor 
a rare combination of attractions. The exterior of 
the house, the Wild Fowl Refuge (formerly rice 
fields) and the broad Cape Fear River afford views 
seldom equalled in the Carolina Low Country.
