Boone Hall Plantation

A 738-acre estate rich in the history of South Carolina’s Low Country. Boone Hall Plantation was a cotton plantation in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and covered more than 17,000 acres. Brick and tile were handmade on the plantation (these same brick may still be seen in the mansion, cotton gin house, slave cabins, circular smokehouse and in the formal gardens’ walls and walks). In 1904 Boone Hall Plantation had developed the world’s largest pecan groves (acres of these groves are still productive). The plantation has a famous one-half mile avenue of massive, Spanish moss-draped live oaks. The first trees of the avenue were planted in 1743. Open year-round except for Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. Hours are Monday thru Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. The hours during April 1 to Labor Day are Monday thru Saturday 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. and Sunday 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Admission fee charged.

Magnolia Plantation

The Magnolia Plantation has been the original ancestral home of the Drayton family for over three centuries. It is the centerpiece of Ashley River history, and played important roles in the early days of settlement (the Revolutionary War and Civil War). Besides offering the oldest major public garden in America, it is also America’s oldest man-made attraction, having been open to the public annually since the late 1860’s. Visitors can enjoy canoe, bike and walking nature trails, picnic areas, a 125-acre rice field waterfowl refuge, a “street” of antebellum cabins, a Biblical garden which was pictured in Time Magazine, a petting zoo of plantation animals, and much more.
