Visited the Boone plantation on our way to Charleston and it was a great orientation to plantation life and the settling of SC. A great history lesson, and so interesting to learn about the establishment of Charleston, the cash crops, the slaves, the way of life and 'economic opportunity' for the new settlers of the colonies. We really enjoyed the... More

Such and interesting place that I have visited several times. The Boone Hall experience is, however, only as good as the docent.

This was the only plantation we visited and learned so much about the history of the site and the area. The home tour, bus tour of the grounds and the story telling presentation are not to be missed. Amazing old oak trees and grounds.

My husband and I enjoyed our visit to Boone Hall. We chose it over Drayton Hall and Magnolia Plantation. The admission cost covered everything on the property, which was a bonus over the other two. We went on a tour of the house, which was informative but a bit rushed because our guide was trying to give us time to... More

Boone Hall was pleasantly surprising. My wife has wanted to visit ever since The Notebook. When we got there, $40 gone. Of course, we stayed over 3 hours so I guess it wasn't that bad for two people. We took a tour of the house that included 4 rooms total on the bottom floor with a fairly knowledgeable guide. After... More

After reading some of the review we approached the visit with some trepidation. The biggest problem we had was the size of the house tour group - over 50 people. Half that size would be better. Our docent Bob did his best and it was good. We watched the Gullah Culture presentation. It alone was worth the price of admission... More

If you fell in love with the scenery in movies like Gone With the Wind and The Patriot, then Boone Hall Plantation is a must see. The Avenue of Oaks is breathtaking and the Cotton Dock is a quiet corner of the grounds many people miss.

Very educational. Unlike many plantation tours that I have done, there is a lot of information given about the lives of the african slaves both during and after slavery. This is a working plantation so it is interesting to see everything that is grown there. I was disappointed that the main house in not original but the grounds and gardens... More

Boone Hall Plantation, on Mount Pleasant, is a 500 plus acre property, with a gorgeous entrance avenue lined with huge oak trees. The current home on the property dates to the 1930's, and has been featured in various TV shows and movies, including North and South, and The Notebook. Tours of the inside of the home are relatively short but... More
