This plantation looks at the lives and experiences from the perspective of the slaves. Very educational tour that is enhanced by the physical sensation. You can almost see and feel the earlier inhabitants. A must see experience!
Fantastic, eye-opening experience that dives into African-American history and the slave labor sites. If you are wanting to simply marvel at a southern plantation house, this is not the place for you, the house is mediocre in size and grandeur, but if you want to dive into the life of a slave, you definitely need to stop here. Paul is one of the best storytellers I have ever heard, he has the ability to make you feel like you are truly the one experiencing what he is describing.
The tour was very good. They are in process of the restoration, so things are being added as it goes through it. The house is unfinished and lived in until 1990. Very nice architecture and showed how it was remodeled through the years.
Tour was worth it and will improve as th e years go by.
I brought a small school group of 8th graders here and our tour also had some elderly folks on it. Our tour guide,Barb, did a great job catering the tour to the wide age range and was incredibly knowledgeable. The property is absolutely gorgeous and worth the admission! (Granted, it was free for us since I have a Charleston County Parks Gold pass).
This site, preserves for all to see, the stain of slavery on the south. Unfortunately, aside from the slave's quarters and some signage in the house, the site is light on material / information. But, when you walk past the main house towards the slaves quarters, through an arbor of trees, the landscape is quiet and empty.. For me, this was an experience akin to visiting Auschwitz or watching "Schindler's List". People were bought and sold here, families torn apart, whippings, beatings, torture, punishment, the wholesale degradation of a race of people. It needs to be witnessed and this site needs to be maintained if only to remind us of the cruelty of man and this nation's original sin.
Good informational tour. If you want real information instead of fluffy bits, this is the place for you.
It all focused on how evil democrats were up until the 1980s. They even mentioned that it was Johnson thgat messed up and ruined all of the advances for civil rights after the civil war.
