Boone Hall Plantation is one of the oldest working plantations in the United States, dating back at least three centuries to the 1680s, when 470 acres of land was granted from prior owner Theophilus Patey to his daughter Elizabeth and her husband Major John Boone. The plantation has been continually growing crops for more than 320 years and has been open to the public as a living history facility since 1956, after its purchase by the McRae family. The National Register of Historic Places-listed plantation showcases typical plantation of life of the Antebellum era through preserved structures like its Colonial Revival plantation house, slave cabins and cottages, flower gardens, and historic Avenue of Oaks, originally planted in 1743. In addition to guided home tours, the plantation is open to the public each year for special events such as the Boone Hall Farms Market and the annual Lowcountry Strawberry Festival.
