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.

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.

Enjoyed this Plantation. We had a great speaker she was absolutely wonderful, very informative. a nice place to visit and reasonably priced. $15.00, as of august 2017. Loved the gift shop. They had Gullah Dolls, I bought 3, LOL . They were a little expensive but I felt they were worth it.
