Description
Witness to over three centuries of American history, Magnolia Plantation (built by the Drayton family in the late 17th century) and its lush gardens provide modern visitors with a glimpse of a vanished way of life. Enjoy a guided tour of the old Plantation house, watch for alligators and egrets in the Audubon Swamp Garden, rest your feet on a nature train tour of the far-flung corners of this estate and be sure to take your young ones to the Petting Zoo and Nature Center for an close-up look at some of the local birds and beasts. There's also an Antebellum Cabin to see, a Horticulture Maze, an Observation Tower, a greenhouse and Orietation Theater - catch lunch at the plantation's cafe and make a day of it.
