Itinerary

Your visit to Boone Hall Plantation starts with transportation by climate-controlled bus from the Charleston Visitor Center. Your gate fee is included in the price of the tour. Founded in 1681, Boone Hall was built when Englishman Major John Boone came to Charleston and established a home on the banks of Wampacheone Creek. When you arrive, your tour begins on the front porch with a 30-minute presentation by a knowledgeable guide in historical dress. You will be introduced to the history of Boone Hall and its evolution through a variety of owners since the 17th century. Learn many facets of the plantation's history, and listen to a presentation called Slave Street, which provides a look at the living quarters, historical relics, and insight into the life of the slaves here. In addition, learn about Gullah culture, the language of the descendants of slaves who lived in the Lowcountry of Georgia and South Carolina. Boone Hall is the only plantation in the South Carolina Lowcountry to present a live presentation, in season, about this culture. At the end of your journey, tour the garden to see antique roses that are more than 100 years old. Then head back to the bus for the return drive to Charleston.

A great adventure to visit a beautiful, historic plantation.

Published on Dec, 2024

This trip was easy to book through Trip Advisor, the driver and transportation bus were excellent. Boone Hall was so very interesting, with excellent presentations throughout the Plantation grounds. I highly recommend this excursion.

A great overview of plantation life

Published on Dec, 2024

Lots to see. The guides all did a great job - from the house tour, the tour/ride of the grounds, the Gullah talk, to the gin house. I only wish we would have had a little more time. I didn’t get to spend much time reading the information in the cabins.

Worth a trip.

The main house was built in the 1900’s after the original ones were replaced. Has original slave quarters that were for higher status slaves and an excellent presentation on the slave culture. A mixed view of the plantation experience.

This was an enjoyable...

This was an enjoyable tour of the beautiful Boone Hall. The butterfly cafe had great sandwiches(especially the pulled pork). The Gullah demonstration was fantastic!

A Blast to the Past

Published on Nov, 2024

Visiting a plantation was a high priority for our trip to Charleston and we were so pleased we did! Boone Plantation was well maintained and the staff made you feel you were visiting friends. We began with a musical presentation by one of the local gullah women which was very moving and educational. Being from the north, we were unfamiliar with the area's history, outside of school books, and we learned so much in such a pleasant way. There is a lot of walking to see everything here but there are ample places to sit as well. Be sure a wear comfortable shoes and dress for the local weather. On a personal note, I found the restrooms to be very clean.
