We arrived on a Tuesday, normally they don't run tours on Tuesday but they decided with the extra people traffic on the Eclipse weekend and week they would run. The maintenance man gave a small group a tour of the 1st floor. They were doing maintenance on the second floor and he had to mow another 20 acres. He was a great guide and the place is very well kept. Not far from Augusta and worth a trip.

Took my dog here and had lunch with my girlfriend. It was very interesting to learn about all the history, and the grounds are well kept. Didn't manage to do the house tour, but we plan on going back without the dog sometime soon.

Visited this Plantation recently, and was very pleasantly surprised to find an absolutely unspoiled site with no intruding modern ugliness. Located on a dirt road, there are no power lines, billboards, or any other reminders of the modern world and it is very easy to imagine what life might have been like when this was a working farm. The house itself is highly scenic well-preserved, and the grounds are populated with wonderful ancient trees. There are modern bathrooms on site, and and Park Rangers. The interior of the house was not accessible, but there is plenty to see outside. No admission fee. Very romantic.

The tour was excellent, the guide very knowledgeable. The home is what you'd expect a 19th century plantation to look like. Slave quarters and stables well preserved with great artifacts within. And the tour was a steal at 7.50 a person.

I have always wanted to visit a plantation. Although this one has been changed over the years, it was easy to visualize how it looked originally.

Off the beaten path, on a dirt road, this historical plantation is close to original status. Nice informative guide and reasonably priced tour of the plantation main house & antiques scattered throughout the home. Other buildings still standing are the horse stables, and former slave quarters. Visitor center, with small gift shop, displays, & restrooms, is separate from the home.

It's hard to rate or "like" a place that was part of a dark period of our country's history. With this said I decided to visit this historic plantation in Beach Island, SC which was a few minutes away from my campground. I'd never been to a plantation in my life but thought I'd objectively visit the grounds. It's free to wander around the house however there is an admittance fee if you want to tour the home. Tours are only available on certain days, I didn't tour the inside of the home but was able to walk up and around the porch area on my visit. The views and grounds are pretty and well maintained but beware of red ant hills. There is free parking available, a visitor center and some open exhibits in the old barn and slaves quarters. It hard walking around and not feeling disturbed by the injustice of that period in time.
