It was constructed in the late 18th century by a rich British planter, and quickly became the center of one of the most prosperous plantations in the area. It’s main claim to fame though, is the (supposed) black activities of Annie Palmer, wife of the builder’s grandnephew, who had been raised by a voodoo practicing Haitian nanny. Legend says she took slaves as lovers, killed them off when she tired of them, and even murdered her husband when he found out. The house is about 10 miles east of Montego Bay.
