Why you should go…

Boone Hall was founded in 1681 and is still a working farm. You enter along the Avenue of Oaks, an allee of evenly spaced live oaks believed to have been planted in 1743. Admission covers a guided tour of the first floor of the 1936 house, a tractor tour of the 738-acre property, and Exploring the Gullah Culture, a live program of storytelling, song and dance. Nine original slave cabins hold the self-guided Black History in America exhibit.
