Abstract:

Latta Place, the home of Scotsman James Latta in Mecklenburg County, was a thriving cotton and corn plantation around 1800. Today, the 1,290-acre tract contains Latta's restored home and the Latta Plantation Nature Preserve, one of the country's most modern rehabilitation facilities for injured birds of prey. Hodge describes the preserve, house, and recreational things to do on a visit there.
