With my parents and nephew in town I figured it was time to finally check out the plantation house that is also on the property. \n\nThe plantation area consists of an old 1800s house along with other supporting out-buildings and a small livestock area. Things were a bit different with it being Memorial Day, as the usual guided tour of the main house was replaced by re-enactors stationed within each room. They were pretty informative and either discussed the house or time period in general or gave an explanation of the task they were performing (weaving, pulling cotton, spooling yarn, etc.) \n\nThere were also a few re-enactors outside who were doing additional demonstrations. My nephew really enjoyed listening to the guy who was tanning animal hides, and he also enjoyed panning for gold and participating in military drilling. There was also a small corral where you can look at pigs, goats, horses and chickens. \n\nIt's fun for a first-time visit, but the novelty of taking in an 1800s plantation house is worn after one trip. There isn't all that much to do, and there happened to be more during my trip since it was a holiday weekend. I would recommend checking their website before planning a visiting and waiting for a weekend where they had some extra activities going on."^^ . "3"^^ . "1"^^ . "1"^^ . "0"^^ . . . .
