Brookgreen Gardens is a sculpture garden and wildlife preserve just south of

themed gardens with American figurative sculptures, the Lowcountry Zoo, and
trails through several ecosystems on the property.Brookfield Gardens was
listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The sculpture
garden portion, 551 acres (2.23 km2), of Brookgreen Gardens was included in
the designation of Atalaya and Brookgreen Gardens as a National Historic
Landmark in 1984.
Atalaya Castle is just across U.S. 17 which cut through the former combined
Huntington property.
About 550 works of American figurative sculpture are displayed at the Archer
