As seen on Cumberland Island, Georgia a statue of Mercury adorns the gardens of Dungeness, symbolizing the economic change and prosperity brought about during gilded age.

Named after a hunting lodge built on the island by James Oglethorpe, Dungeness was built
by Thomas Carnegie and his wife Lucy In 1884. It burned in the 1950s. All that is left is a stone shadow of the grand estate, where wild horses and other animals roam freely.

Cumberland is Georgia’s largest and southernmost barrier island. Pristine maritime forests, undeveloped beaches and wide marshes whisper the stories of both man and nature. Natives, missionaries, enslaved African Americans and wealthy industrialists have all walked on Cumberland. It includes over 9,800 acres of Congressionally designated wilderness that is Cumberland Island National Seashore.
