We spend a very busy afternoon at the plantation listening to 340 years of history. The world famous Avenue of Oaks lines the entrance to the estate which now is an active farm run by a partnership. The house that is on the estate is still privately owned however the owner lives on another home on the property. There are wonderful exhibits in the actual cabins, that are directly off the entrance, which housed the slaves. Gullah Culture and Black History is very important at Boone Hall. The gardens around the house provide a definite aroma that is inviting and relaxing. There is a tractor that will take you around to view the farm which is quite extensive and several lectures onsite on a variety of subjects throughout the day.
Nana had tickets for a concert at the Circular Congregational Church the Vienna Light Orchestra’s Magical Movie Scores for 6pm so we had some light bites at the very chic outdoor patio at The Black Door Cafe. So good to hear good live music.
Tomorrow is officially St Patrick’s Day so we will go to Mass at St Patrick’s Catholic Church in the morning and then we have a carriage tour booked for 12 md.
