Tour the manor house with a costumed guide and experience the then and now of six generations living and working on a self-sufficient southern plantation before and after the Civil War. Visit with two (our choice) of the interpretive crafts-people on site and learn about traditional skills necessary to produce every day items. Take a hayride through the woods and fields of the plantation. Time permitting tour (self-guided) the various outbuildings; smoke house, kitchen, tenant house, peanut and agricultural exhibit building, view the grounds and gardens.

For schools bringing more than one class your schedule will be arranged so that each class tours the manor house, visits with two craft interpreters, and takes the hayride in a different order. Time can also be scheduled for viewing outbuildings and lunch at the picnic area.
