General's Pond

This rather attractive pond is named after General James Oglethorpe. James Edward Oglethorpe (22 December 1696 – 30 June 1785) was a British general, Member of Parliament, and philanthropist, as well as the founder of the colony of Georgia. As a social reformer, he hoped to resettle Britain's worthy poor in the New World, initially focusing on those in debtors' prisons.
