Peace Plantation is an incarnation of kindness to animals as revealed through its history and direct animal care services. Created in 1950, Peace Plantation began on a 150-acre farm in Sterling, Virginia. The farm was named Peace Plantation because it best captured the landscape and placid atmosphere created by its founder, Anna C. Briggs; the sanctuary animals; and the visiting children. Today, Peace Plantation continues to serve homeless animals at its present location in Walton, New York, where it maintains its grassroots beginnings.
