What to expect
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.

Lovely half day trip to Boone Hall Plantation. Sean was our driver and he was great - he gave us some information about Charleston and the plantation on the way, was a safe driver and on time there and back. Boone Hall itself was self-guided overall except for the main house. Nice relaxed day wandering around in the peaceful surroundings. I felt the tour was a little overpriced for what it was, but I enjoyed it none-the-less.
