Took high school son and an exchange student to see this place. She found it very interesting and since she was interested in photography, took a lot of great pictures of life during those times. More

It's a great place to take school-age kids especially for Festifall. It's a small landmark with a lot of visual stimulation for learning about the Revolutionarry War. More

This place takes you back in time to the way things were long ago. Lots of original buildings full of period relics. Very cool place if you are into history. More

The volunteers here are knowledgeable and enthusiastic. They are not overbearing but are eager to explain the items, displays and customs of the plantation. More
