The view of the marina, creek, and marsh from the bridge in Darien is gorgeous. This tiny town if full of fishermen, crabbers, and shrimpers. I love watching all of the shrimping boats come back into dock!
Dating to the 1790's this was the home of Major Pierce Butler, an Officer of the American Revolution and one of the men who drafted the US Constitution. It was a thriving rice plantation until the end of the Civil War. .  The house that is visible behind the rice mill chimney was built in 1927 by Colonel TL Huston. He was Half owner of the NY Yankees and hosted many professional ball players here, including Babe Ruth. The entire island is now part of the Altamaha Waterfowl Management Area.
Built in 1813 the two-story cotton warehouse and ship chandlery survived the burning of Darien in June 1863 by raiding Union forces from St. Simons Island.  It was the mercantile establishment of Adam Strain from ca. 1870 to 1897.  A portion of the structure was used to house the Darien Bank from 1913 to 1961. The Adam Strain Building is a stuccoed tabby two-store warehouse and the oldest commercial building in Darien. The tabby ruins directly behind the Adam Strain Building, sitting on the waterfront, are reminders of the time when Darien was one of the leading Atlantic commercial ports for the export of cotton and timber.  There were two separate eras of Darien's commercial success; the first, featuring the export of cotton grown inland and rafted down the river, lasted from c. 1810 to 1845.  The second saw Darien's rise from total destruction in the Civil War to become the second-leading timber exporting port on the southern coast from c. 1870 - 1910.  These ruins were constructed c. 1815-1830.  The Darien waterfront was rebuilt after devastating fires in 1812 and 1824.  The Adam Strain building is currently abandoned and in unsafe conditions.  The current owners have attempted to demolish the building, but local preservationists are working to save it.
