Boone Hall Plantation & Gardens

Having never visited a plantation before this property did not disappoint. The hanging Spanish moss from the trees welcoming you through the driveway makes the experience so much more authentic. The house is not the original built, in fact it's the third, but still has elegance, style and pieces of the previous house incorporated into the architecture. A wedding was being prepared for in the front yard of the house. It has been used in the motion picture "The Notebook" and other films as well, and for good reason. But even more fantastic then the house with its free-flying staircase are the slave huts. They are not very large and it's hard to think about men, women and children being cramped together in the small space. They date back to the 1700s and carry a lot of history with them. I believe the price was 19.50 USD per person, but a AAA member saves a couple bucks. Definitely worth checking out.

This is a great place of our history. The price is no more then the other Plantations a round Charleston. I would have paid more if ask to. Also 3 great movies was made here. I loved the Tours. I will go again.
