Maytag Plantation, a 1,579+/- acre legacy estate nestled in Union Springs, Alabama. Originally acquired by L.B. Maytag-of the famed appliance family-in the 1920s, this revered property has hosted generations of prestigious field trials and legendary guests and America's leaders, including President Dwight Eisenhower, Bing Crosby, and Sam Walton. What they started here has grown into today's thriving recreational land niche the likes of which they could never have imagined. These are the "good ole days." More than a sporting estate, Maytag Plantation, is a storied heirloom that represents everything that is right after a generation of exemplary stewardship. Inspired by that moment, Maytag began assembling the land that would become the iconic Sedgefields Plantation. Just nine years later, he hosted its first major field trial. Since 1950, what is now known as the National Amateur Free-For-All Championship has been held at Sedgefields annually. So much energy and passion were poured into running bird dogs here that Union Springs earned the title "Bird Dog Field Trial Capital of the World." What Maytag started has grown into a living legacy-sustained today by like-minded landowners who share his vision and commitment to sporting excellence.
