If your interests lie in birding, genealogy, canoeing, kayaking Civil War sites re-enactments then Thoroughbred Country is the place to spend some time. For those interested in gardening, the best time to visit is in April when, among other plants, azalea, wisteria and Carolina jessamine and Cherokee roses are blooming. Summer brings pecan, peach and fig trees to fruit. Autumn is later arriving and a nice time of the year too as you can enjoy summer-like weather well into October.

Annie's Inn Bed and Breakfast is a stately landmark in the tiny village of Montmorency in Thoroughbred Country. Built in the early 1800s; it was the primary home to a two thousand acre plantation. Today it is still surrounded by cotton fields. From the moment you set foot on the weather worn brick walks, enhanced by the stately oak tree in the front yard, and pass the massive columns on the front porch of the Greek revival plantation home; you know you have stepped back in time to another era.
