Private House Tour The group tour of the mansion that exists on Boone Hall Plantation today was built as part of the Second Wave of Reconstruction. Guided tours of the first floor allow guests to see how this Georgian-designed home blends recovered materials and antique furnishings to recreate an atmosphere that would have surrounded a Coastal Carolina planter's family and their guests. This 30-minute tour begins on the front porch and is presented by a well-informed guide in historical dress. The tour will also introduce you to the history of Boone Hall Plantation, and its evolution through several owners since 1681.

Visitors can see the different aspects of daily life, how they worked and lived, struggles that were faced, as well as follow different periods of historical progression from the beginning all the way up to present day.
