When you drive up the driveway to the plantation you see the world famous avenue of oaks. You really do feel like your on Gone with the wind movie and I was not surprised when I heard this plantation was seen in the Notebook, North and South, wheel of fortune and American idol.
We were unable to take pictures inside and I can understand because the beauty is something to see, from the winding staircase to the garden room, dining room and al the beautiful furniture. The oldest piece of furniture was a pie crust table, I have a pie crust table from the 1950's not near the age of the one I seen. lol
No kitchen, years ago they cooked in a building next to the house as the plantation did have several fires in early years. They use to whistle from the time they prepared the food till they served it because you could not eat and whistle at the same time. Just one of the little comments made .
The slave quarters were to the side of the main house, a little area all to themselves with a church.
