I am Patricia Blackstock, owner and webmaster of funbeaches.com My husband Wally Snider and I have been living in Myrtle Beach since 1997. On Mother's Day he likes to surprise me with something we've never done before. This year's surprise was a visit to Boone Hall Plantation and Gardens (in Mt. Pleasant, near Charleston.) And what a delightful choice it was!

After you park your car at Boone Hall Plantation, you need to first sign up for the various activities at the Hospitality Center, an old home, tucked between moss-covered trees, featuring a lovely bed of flowers

Boone Hall is one of American's oldest plantations. It was founded in 1681 when Englishman Major John Boone came to Charleston and established a lucrative home and plantation on the banks of Wampacheone Creek. The family and descendants of Major Boone were influential in the history of the colonies in the Union.

The U-Pick area is open in season. The agricultural arm of the plantation i known as Boone Hill Farms.

Unlike some other plantations and gardens, at Boone Hall Plantation all activities are included with your admission fee, and it is well worth the admission fee. There is enough happening at Boon Hall Plantation to keep you interested and entertained all day long.

The Boone Hall Plantation home is an antibellum-style mansion, built in 1936 and listed on the National Registry of historic places. The tour included the first level and lasted about 30 minutes. No photos were allowed inside the Plantation house.

Slave Street Review- Each former slave cabin contains a recorded and informative video/TV tour as well as many other photos and props explaining black history throughout the years when slaves served on the Plantation.

Gullah Culture: Review and video of a live presentation explaining the development of the Gullah culture in the Charleston area.. This live stage presentation was, in my opinion, one of the best features that Boone Hall Plantation offers. This presentation is performed two times a day. Don't miss it!

Plantation Coach Tour Review- (You can see the coach in my photo album. ) This open air tour was a lot of fun! We enjoyed listening to the well-informed guide as he took us on a long tour through the entire plantation. We saw pecan groves, strawberries, lots of veggies and other in-season fruit trees.

Plantation Gardens Review- The garden is located in front of the Plantation House, in the formation of butterfly wings. It boasts 22 beds of plants and flowers..
