PRIVATE PLANTATION TOURS
Join Charleston Insights for a look into Charleston's aristocractic and Gullah heritage -  instilled here by Charleston's founders, the English Lords Proprietators.
PRIVATE PLANTATION TOURS
Ashley River Plantations
Middleton Place - ca. 1741
​Middleton Place is perhaps the most exceptional plantation in the country - and Charleston's only plantation that is designated as a national landmark. Your guide will lead you through its Versailles-inspired gardens - cited as the nation's loveliest by the Garden Club of America. You will also see America's oldest house museum filled with Middleton treaures that provide an authentic look into how America's wealthiest colonial family lived.
Drayton Hall - ca. 1750
 A perfect complement to your excursion to Middleton Place, Drayton Hall is the oldest preserved plantation house in America and the finest example of Palladian architecture in the nation. Preserved rather than restored, Drayton Hall is seen at its core instead of being displayed with period furniture and heirlooms.

Please note: Drayton Hall is open six days a week (closed on Tuesdays).
Boone Hall - ca. 1790
Located east of the Cooper River on the opposite side of Charleston, Boone Hall offers a look into life during slavery. The live Gullah theatre is especially interesting. Your guide will lead you to areas of interest, including the rare, brick slave cabins (ca. 1790). You will also see the impressive Avenue of Oaks (ca. 1843) that inspired Margaret Mitchell when writing Gone With The Wind.  ​
