Boone Hall Plantation | Charleston SC

[@normawright292]

My late husband and I visited here years ago. We loved it, driving down the oak tree lane, the mansion and grounds. At the time, they had a cafe upstairs in the gin mill. I had the southern sampler - like 5 or 6 southern specialties. It had to be one of the best meals I've ever had. Yes, I have very fond memories of Boone Hall.

[@joanpellillo2981]

North and south was filmed there - So cool!

[@Brett33]

We have been there twice. Once with my parents when I was 16 and then I took my kids there a few years ago. Found out about it after watching the North and South mini series .

[@iLoveRVlife]

Tons of history in the area. A favorite.

[@valerieloney5565]

Wow piece of history. We all have history in every country we are not proud of but there it is

[@harshanid3636]

I love the old South...Home of hospitality and good manners.

[@Brett33]

Have had the chance to visit twice . I think once when I was about 16 in 1987 and then again in my 30's . Always think about the TV series North and South when I visit and look for the locations seen . First time we visited, didn't even make it to the dock but made sure to check it out the last time .

I remember coming here, the house is beautiful. So is the garden in the back.

[@butterflybri2786]

[@keithandrews3007]

It’s an interesting place and they have done a great job sharing the history.

[@jenjoss66]

My husband and I are really enjoying your travel/camping videos. Thank you!

[@iLoveRVlife]

Jennifer, Thanks much for the kind comments.

[@StephLeesD]

Thank you for this great video. I didn't know anything about this plantation before seeing the miniseries "North and South". Hope to go see Boone Hall in person soon!!

[@iLoveRVlife]

Pretty place.

[@JanRaz1955]

North and South , and Queen and The Notebook, beautiful place!

[@iLoveRVlife]

That it is Janice. Joan loves The Notebook and wouldn’t leave until she had her picture at the front gates.

Mont Royal from North and south ❤

[@debmetheral6596]

As a Canadian this was very informative. Oh and there really is a Joan nice to actually see her.

[@iLoveRVlife]

Thanks much. Joan sneaks in the video from time to time. I'll try to get her in more when we head out west in about a month.

[@autumnvalley]

Very good history. 👍 It matched what we learned today. :)

[@dalesadventures]

We just visited last week it's an amazing place to visit

[@iLoveRVlife]

Interesting walk among the past.

[@georgiapatriot13097]

It's Beautiful Mont Royal!

[@angelahartley2596]

Thomas ravanel owned this and restored to include polo field. It was shown on the show Southern Charm. As f 2022 I believe it was finally sold.

[@iLoveRVlife]

It’s a very interesting place. Hope they will continue to allow public access.

[@judymurray191]

I watched that episode but didn’t know that was Boone Hall. I visited it in 1995. I’ll have to do some more research.

[@judymurray191]

I just researched who owns Boone Hall and I have to correct Angela because it doesn’t belong to the Ravenel’s. They must own another plantation in the Charleston area.

[@angelahartley3212]

@@judymurray191 you should have read my reply. Thomas Ravenel SOLD it as I stated!

[@italochagas8965]

House “The Notebook" House The Movie Allie Hamilton (Rachel Mcadams) At Recordings Occurred There.

[@iLoveRVlife]

The 1985 North and South mini series was filmed there too.

Thank you.

Glad to share

[@fatratz2012]

most people don't realize charleston was the wealthiest city in America before the civil war and the poorest after up until the late 1950's

[@iLoveRVlife]

And a fun place now.

[@fatratz2012]

visit magnolia cemetary when you visit charleston the oldest surviving ironwork in charleston the union troops wouldn't steal the ironwork from the cemetary but many a cottage in Jersey was decorated with ironwork taken from city buildings

[@iLoveRVlife]

I will. Thanks for the tip. For a number of years I worked in ornamental iron. Studied Charleston, Savannah and New Orleans iron. Always found the Charleston craftsmanship to be exceptional. Haven’t made ironwork in a long time, but still enjoy walking the Charleston streets and touching the stuff.

Very nice

[@iLoveRVlife]

Thanks much.

[@Brookevaughn52]

Did they film queen the movie alex haily

[@iLoveRVlife]

They did.

[@Brookevaughn52]

I watched that movie over the years more than any movie ever great movie

[@iLoveRVlife]

Scenes from The Notebook were filmed there too. One of Joan’s favorites.

[@Brookevaughn52]

@@iLoveRVlife omg if I can watch that on a loop my other half would lose his mind lol I love the argument scenes lol pure passion !!!

[@iLoveRVlife]

I think Joan has the entire movie memorized.

[@janetvandagna8344]

I went to Boone Plantation years ago. It was late 80s or early 90s. I thought the plantation house was all white. Has it always had the brick? It’s been so long I just can’t remember.

[@iLoveRVlife]

I believe so. The guide shared the plantation had a commercial brickworks that date to the early 1800’s.

[@ontheroadhome4796]

Yes, it's always been brick.

[@ericspencer8093]

You should have mentioned that the mansion is not authentic to the period. It was built in 1936 and replaced a much simpler wooden home.

[@iLoveRVlife]

Thanks for sharing.

[@williamshelton4150]

I hate that the original house was demolished. This colonial revival structure bears no resemblance to historic South Carolina architecture.

[@austinstitzel]

I'm gonna guess that you are a Sagittarius and Joan is an Aries.

[@iLoveRVlife]

Close 😏

[@austinstitzel]

@@iLoveRVlife what are your actual signs?

[@danfiorini785]

Just went on this tour. The big house wasn’t built until 1936 so it has nothing to do with the real history of the plantation. Kind of ruined it for me. And the tour is of four rooms, a dining room, a library, a loggia and an office. Not allowed upstairs or even in the kitchen. The slave quarters were interesting, the oaks were impressive, but the rest is a farm. The original home was torn down in 1935 and what you see here is what replaced it.

[@jwood5321]

Lovely video thank you, enjoyed it very much. Sad part of history but we must move on not going to be able to reverse that part no matter how we try. HOWEVER the mere act of acknowledgement of it from the decendants is a significant step. Slave houses look like luxury apartments compared to the ones the British allowed for slaves here in the Caribbean ...makes one wonder that the owners of the Boone Hall plantation may have been halfway decent towards their human possession during that era?

[@iLoveRVlife]

Thanks J. They was a large effort underway to find records and digs around the sites. One thing for sure - history not learned, is history repeated.
