Glenn-Thompson Plantation
The Glenn-Thompson House (also known as Cedar Heights Plantation) is a historic plantation house near Pittsview in Russell County, Alabama. The house was built in 1837, five years after the Treaty of Cusseta which ceded Muscogee lands to the United States. It was built by Massilon McKendree Glenn, son of the founder of nearby Glennville, and an academic who was the president of the Board of Trustees of the Glennville Female Academy. Glenn traded the house and its lands to a nearby planter named George Hargraves Thompson in 1840. Thompson developed the land into a working plantation, and his son, Willis, was one of the first in the area to convert his lands to produce pecans.
