Jekyll Island was once a private hunting club owned by the ultra rich of the turn of the century - families like the Vanderbilts, JP Morgans, Goodyears and so on. Each family maintained a cottage for its use in the winter and there are some stunning designs.
Now I say ultra Rich but when JP Morgan died his estate was valued at $80 Million. On reading this John Rockefeller commented "And to think he wasn't even a rich man".
Eventually the government forced the end to the private reserve and took it over as a state park which is now open for public viewing.
