Lovely antebellum home and magnificant gardens. Take the home tour and learn about an interesting family that kept this amazing plantation in the same family for many generations. We went in August 2019 and the grounds and gardens were beautiful, but we plan to return in the Spring when the Azaleas and Camellias are in bloom. If you like early American history, you'll enjoy visiting the Magnolia Plantation. Wear comfortable walking shoes... this place is huge.

Informative,though far too much emphasis on the people who owned and ran this place and not nearly enough information on the lives of the slaves ,who produced the wealth.We found out after our tour that there is a seperate tour which deals more specifically with the slaves.I would have thought that anyone visiting a slave plantation would only naturally want this information as a matter of course.Alan our driver was very knowledgeable.

This was a fairly informative outing about the slave masters and their life styles but I would have liked a more comprehensive tour on the history of the plantation. There should be more information about the slave contributions to the rice industry and the overall plantation. I recommend a package that includes both the mansion and slave quarters. We have to remember this is our history and the only way to avoid making the same mistakes, is a real understanding of the past.
