Located eight miles north of Charleston in Mount Pleasant, Boone Hall Plantation was established in 1743 as a rice plantation. Today, the popular attraction encompasses more than 730 acres of gardens, wetlands, creeks and ponds. Boone Hall is also one of America's oldest working, living plantations and has been continuously growing and producing crops for over 320 years.

The current plantation house, Built in 1936 by Canadian ambassador Thomas A. Stone, sits on the site of the original plantation home. A central attraction at Boone Hall Plantation is the slave street which features nine original slave cottages. The well-preserved brick cottages housed the slave craftsmen and artisans who worked the plantation in the 18th and 19th centuries.
