Boone Hall Plantation | South Carolina Photo Spot
Share this Page
One of America’s oldest working plantations, Boone Hall Plantation offers a plethora of visual delights. The Avenue of Oaks, a 3/4-mile long drive framed by massive, moss-draped oaks, serves as the plantation’s stunning entrance and an ideal subject for photography. Each oak was planted in 1743, and today they form a natural corridor leading to the historic mansion. In addition to the architectural elegance of the main house, the plantation also showcases period-authentic slave cabins, which offer deep historical context. For photographers, the estate’s varying elements provide an array of compositional opportunities, from wide-angle shots capturing the grandeur of the avenue, to more intimate photos inside the plantation’s gardens. Opt for a late afternoon or early morning visit to catch the golden light filtering through the oaks.
