Take a short drive out of Charleston to Mt Pleasant for a look around a real running plantation, Boone Hall, an estate that dates back to the late 17th century with plenty of stories to tell for it. Explore expansive Boone Hall on a 30 minute guided tour before heading down Slave Street for a better understanding of slave life in the pre-Civil War days, then hop the plantation tram and give your feet a rest while enjoying a 40-minute trip around to see plantation crops and enjoy a self-guided tour of the gardens as part of a well-rounded visit. There are a further selection of programs and tours offered seasonally, check the calendar for more details.
