Take a trip through the history of America’s oldest working, living plantation. Boone Hall dates back to 1681 and opened in 1956 to the public after the McRae family purchased it.

The half-day plantation tour (4.5 hours) includes many options:

  • A 30-minute house tour by a well-informed guide in historical dress
  • A self-guided tour through the beautiful gardens to view antique roses over 100 years old!
  • A guided Slave Street & History Presentation through living quarters and historic relics
  • View 8 original cabins for enslaved people, all completed in a different theme containing photos, life size figures, and more.
  • Gaze at the ¾-mile Avenue of Oaks containing 270-year-old giant live oaks draped in Spanish moss.

  • Confederate and Union army forts Moultrie and Johnson
  • USS Yorktown: The famous World War II “Fighting Lady”
  • St. Michael’s Episcopal Church: A survivor of both the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, whose steeple was painted black so as not to be an easy target
