Charleston Part 3 ~ Boone Hall Plantation

One afternoon we went to Boone Hall Plantation. It's one of the oldest working plantations. The property was beautiful and we learned a lot about the plantation. We only got to see the first floor of the house though and I was a bit disappointed with that. I love touring old houses and seeing all the history there.

These were the slaves quarters. There were nine houses there and each one told about their lives and history.
This the the house. It isn't the original though...this one was built in 1938. The first one was destroyed in a hurricane and the second was not kept up well so they took parts of it and built the one you see here. Gracyn did pretty well during the tour....she decided to start singing during it, but I don't think anyone minded too much. It's better than crying! :)
