Also interpreted on the property are several other structures including the Raft Swamp Post Office, a rare surviving example of a post office that was in service during the Civil War, and the original 1780's-era Humphrey House in which the family lived prior to building the plantation house. The Humphrey-Williams-Smith Plantation is open to the public by appointment and for special and seasonal events.
