Cumberland Island National Seashore is known for its wild horses and the ruins of Dungeness Estate, former home of Thomas Carnegie, brother of Andrew Carnegie. Walking the grounds of the original estate, the visitor is transported to another time when the finer things in life were enjoyed in leisure.

Revolutionary War Hero General Nathanael Greene purchased land on Cumberland Island in 1783. Following his death, his widow Catherine Greene, constructed a four-story tabby home that she named Dungeness. Thomas Carnegie and his wife Lucy began building another Dungeness on the original foundation in 1884. The Carnegie's Dungeness burned in 1959 and today only the ruins remain on the site.
