Barrow Hill Plantation

Barrow Hill Plantation was a large forced-labor farm of 3,990 acres (1,610 ha) located in central Leon County, Florida, United States.

It was established by John S. Winthrop, who by 1860 enslaved 71 people to work his land, which was primarily dedicated to growing cotton as a cash crop.

The first tract would cover what is now western sections of E. Tennessee St, eastern parts of Miccosukee Road, and Leon High School.

John Winthrop, like other planters, would feel the effects of the American Civil War, losing plantation land and the legal right to enslave people.

It later went to John's son Francis B. Winthrop, who served a term as Mayor of Tallahassee, and wife Gertude Chittenden Withrop who lived there from 1910-1925.
