I really enjoyed walking around and seeing the old buildings, reading the information provided, the sheep were out and there was a newborn lamb, saw a huge hog too, my back was hurting so I didn't get to see the visitors center and missed a couple of buildings but I will return and it's a good place for a picnic too.

Went to the Living History Independence day here. Actors showed what life was like on the Plantation during the 1850's. Had a general store, cotton gin, barns, blacksmith, kitchen house, carpentry barn, living quarters, etc. Enjoyed.
