My daughter and I spent some time at this plantation. We did the train ride, which was awesome - just a little too windy to be able to hear our driver with all the history but loved seeing the gardens and all the wildlife. We then checked out the wildlife center and had a cup of coffee as it was cold windy and raining. We walked through the gardens which are absolutely beautiful and so well upkept. And lastly we did a tour of the house. Our tour guide in the house was SUPERB! I can't remember her name but she was a 5th grade teacher and gave tours in her downtime! She was fun and gave lots of great history! I would highly recommend going as the gardens are just beautiful! And the best part of this story is that it is still owned by the original owners lineage! WOW!
