The original inhabitants of Gaither's Plantation may be long in their graves, but if dozens of visitors are to be believed, the dead still walk the halls of this 159-year-old plantation home. The home was built by William Hulbert Gaither, who lived there with his wife Cecelia and their children. The cotton plantation sat on 875-acres of property in Newton and Jasper counties and was home to more than 130 slaves.
