Located nearby is the Du Bignon family cemetery, including the grave of John Eugene du Bignon, who sold Jekyll Island Club in the late 1800’s. The Horton House served both as a British Empire outpost and Horton's residence until his death in Savannah in 1748.
The Horton House is located on North Riverview Drive on Jekyll Island.
