Description
Boone Hall plantation in South Carolina. This brick walkway is in the gardens, leading to the mansion. The Boone Hall Plantation and Gardens is an antebellum era plantation located in Mount Pleasant, Charleston County, South Carolina, U.S.A., and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The plantation includes a large Colonial Revival plantation house (1933�35) that replaces the lost original house on the site, a number of slave cabins or cottages (which were occupied by sharecroppers well into the 20th century), several flower gardens, and the historic "Avenue of Oaks:" a nearly one-mile (1.6 km) drive up to the house with southern live oaks on either side, originally planted in 1743.
Boone Hall plantation sits on Wampacheeoone Creek in Christ Church Parish about 10 miles (16 km) from historic downtown Charleston.
