We had a great guide, and enjoyed touring the place. It's very large, and very interesting. The main house is now air-conditioned which made it very pleasant. Our guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The entrance fee is free, but of course they appreciate donations.

It wasn't "Tara" from "Gone with the Wind", but it gave a good idea what a plantation was like. They did a very good job of restoring the buildings. There are 2 house tours. Please check for times. You can get a map and wander on your own or they provide a number to call for a cell phone tour. I had a good time.
