Bowdre is approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) southwest of Robinsonville and approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) north of Hollywood. Bowdre was the site of a railroad accident on December 21, 1941, when eight members of a family employed on the plantation were killed attempting to cross the tracks in front of the Penn Owen company store.
