A 1/2-mi drive through a live-oak alley draped in Spanish moss introduces you to the still-operating plantation, the oldest of its kind. Tours take you through the 1935 mansion, the butterfly pavilion, the heirloom rose garden, and nine antebellum-era brick slave cabins. Stroll along the winding river, tackle the fields to pick your own strawberries or pumpkins, or dine in Serena's Kitchen, which serves Southern fare. North and South, Queen, and Nicholas Sparks's The Notebook were filmed here. Plan your visit to coincide with annual events like June's Blue Grass Festival and January's Oyster Festival.

This is a great place of our history. The price is no more then the other Plantations a round Charleston. I would have paid more if ask to. Also 3 great movies was made here. I loved the Tours. I will go again.
