Boone
Hall Plantation Boone Hall is
one of America’s oldest working
plantations. The plantation has been
continuously growing and producing
crops for over 320 years. Once known
for cotton and pecans, Boone Hall is
still actively producing peaches,
strawberries, tomatoes, and pumpkins,
as well as many other fruits and
vegetables for the visitors to enjoy.
Our U-Pick fields are open in season,
and we now have two produce stands on
both sides of Highway 17. So stop in
and see what's growing! 1235 Long Point

Drayton
Hall Drayton Hall is the
only plantation house on the Ashley
River to survive the Revolutionary
and Civil Wars intact. After seven
generations, two great wars, and
numerous hurricanes and
earthquakes, the main house of this
National Historic Landmark remains
in nearly original condition. The
entire site serves as an eloquent
testimony to America's heritage.

Magnolia
Plantation and It's Gardens
Listed in the National Register
of Historic Places by the U. S.
Department of the Interior,
stately Magnolia Plantation has,
for over three centuries, been
the original ancestral home of
the Drayton family, whose many
sons have played important roles
throughout American history. It
is believed that no other
plantation in South Carolina is
still under original family
ownership from that early date,
thirteen generations of the
present-owning family having
enjoyed it. It is the centerpiece
of Ashley River history, and
played important roles in the
early days of settlement, the
Revolutionary War, and the Civil
War. 3550 Ashley River Road,

Middleton
Place Middleton Place
was established early in the
life of the Carolina colony and
served as a base of operations
for a great Low Country planter
family and was home to a
dynamic African-American slave
community. Begun in 1741 by
Henry Middleton, President of
the First Continental Congress,
the 60-acre landscaped garden
was both an intellectual and
emotional focus for successive
generations of Middletons.
Until 1865, the garden was
nurtured and embellished by
Henry's son, Arthur Middleton,
a signer of the Declaration of
Independence; Arthur
Middleton's son, Henry
Middleton, who was Governor of
South Carolina and U.S.
Minister to Russia; and
Governor Henry Middleton's son,
Williams Middleton, who signed
the Ordinance of Secession.
