About Fashion Plantation
Fashion Plantation was the property of Confederate general Richard Taylor, son of President Zachary Taylor. The house was of raised West Indian design, on brick piers with a gallery and dormers. Taylor bought it in 1851 from G.W. Fullerton. Taylor's plantation was grand; he built an extensive library and became immersed in local politics. Taylor himself was a cooperationist and mild Unionist until secession in 1861. In September 1862, a skirmish took place at the plantation, and Union soldiers burned the house to the ground. After his property was confiscated by the U.S. government in 1865, Taylor suffered a reversal of fortune. After the Civil War, according to local lore, a group of his former slaves learned of his financial setbacks and offered him money, which he refused. The plantation was returned to his estate after his death and the property sold.
