Fodor's Review:

A ½-mi drive through a live-oak alley draped in Spanish moss introduces you to the still-operating plantation, the oldest of its kind. Tours take you through the 1935 mansion, the butterfly pavilion, the heirloom rose garden, and nine antebellum-era brick slave cabins. Seasonal Gullah culture performances in the theater are laudable. Stroll along the winding river, tackle the fields to pick your own strawberries, pumpkins, or tomatoes. Across the highway are a farmers' market and gift shop.

  • Cost: $17.50
  • Open: Apr.-early Sept., Mon.-Sat. 8:30-6:30, Sun. 1-5; early Sept.-Mar., Mon.-Sat. 9-5, Sun. 1-4
