This is tour was the antidote for other plantations we visited, where a glossing over of history and truth seemed to be the order of the day. Concentrating on the lives and experiences of the slaves (with stories from their descendants), the tour offered frank insights of disturbing events and noteworthy resilience. If you want to be comforted by the lies that slavery wasn't really all that bad, don't come here. Tour guide Harriet led a master class in truth.

Ignore the one star reviews and ignore the plantations that are venues for weddings. If you want history told as it is without sugarcoating come here. You should hear it from the viewpoint of the enslaved. Our guide Harriet did a wonderful job. I can’t imagine doing her job every day with the story she has to tell.

My wife and I were prepared to frank and open depiction as slave life on SC rice and cotton plantations. The tour guide did a good job telling the slave story in a dignified manner. I recommend this tour for all people over 12 . Chilren may require some parental prep conversation.

In our trips to Charleston, somehow we missed this attraction. Run by the county, when driving in, all one sees is the visitor center which you might think is the extent of the site. Not true. This pleasant center with bathrooms and gift shop is where you might want to get a tour. As we did not want to wait, there is a complimentary self - guided tour available on I Phones or with their free devices.
There is a moderate charge to enter the site where there are about 8 buildings to visit. The centerpiece, however, is the plantation house. The first floor is open with informative displays. It is interesting to note that the home was only in ONE family since it was built (other than some periods of military occupation). Therefore, the structure is close to the original building.
The plantation is available via paths and short walks under spreading oaks which really give a park-like feel. The site also owns property across the road, including a pavilion, viewing platform and picnic table next to the "creek". In this area is the slave cemetery. Adventurous visitors might find some headstones amid the brush and tangle as the people were placed near the water where they could "cross over." This was a remarkable gem which we thoroughly enjoyed. Afterward. trave; to St. James Episcopal Church (also on James Island) to find the graves of the McLeods.

It’s so encouraging to hear such an honest interpretation of a site like this. The only way we can know and do the work of healing and repair is to tell the truth about how we got here and that that is being done here in Charleston is important and hopeful. Our guide Tamara was excellent.

The plantation and house we got to visit was small, but the guide was very sincere and her story was touching. 2 stars were for her. We got to know about slavery from the perspective of those being slaved before.

I have had the pleasure of visiting and touring most of the house museums in the Southeast, but this tour was by far the worst. While I appreciate the tour guide providing perspective on both the owners of the plantation and those who worked there, the McLeod Plantation tour guide was radical, hostile and provided many "facts" which were either misleading or entirely false. Unlike most tourist, when the tour guide asked for questions, I spoke up and asked pointed questions about some of the false and misleading tales he told about slavery generally or even those specific to that plantation. It turned out that when presented with documented facts contradicting the tour guide's statements, he simply got mad and moved on to another part of the tour. This tour guides only purpose is to provide false information to scads of tourist from around the country who know no better and accept his "tales" as truth. His tours are meant to divide our citizens and to foment ill will among the races. Tours like this are detrimental to the advancement of knowledge and historical fact.
Tourists who do have significant knowledge about the facts from the antebellum period in America should challenge these tour guides who spew hatred and misinformation. That does no one any good at all. By politely challenging radical, hate-spewing guides like the ones at this place, you are at least giving other tourists a fighting chance at knowing the truth about the history of these incredible places.
I would never recommend this plantation tour to anyone unless and until the county who runs the museum radically alters the way it is currently being presented.

Different from other plantation tours I have been on, the perspective is firmly that of the enslaved people. You should definitely take the guided tour--it doesn't take that long and definitely brings it all into focus. I found many of the narratives extremely moving. As a White person I am very glad I visited.

We went with a 10-year-old. The location is easy to follow on the map and the placards are very informative. This is not a very large place, but you still get some decent history.
We have done tours at other historical locations like Fort Sumter and the slavery tour at Magnolia. We elected not to do the one here as we had done a lot of research on the location and had been studying this material recently. We also weren’t in the mood to move at someone else’s pace. The lady in the house almost spoke down to us for not being interested in doing the tour when we told her we were self-guided. All three of us felt like she alternated between being patronizing and often rambling about unrelated topics. It honestly made us appreciate the experience a lot less. There were several things she said that were out of pocket, but out of respect, I’ll leave my comments at this.

Can you tour the grounds for free?
كُتب بتاريخ 3 أبريل 2021
I'm here to post my response to theswampfox's review which criticizes the tour guide's description of the southern plantation as a labor camp. Swampfox asserts that the term "labor camp" is only to be used in association with the 1940s Jewish Holocaust. Nonsense! Forced labor camps have occurred in many other places and times in human history, including the southern United States where enslaved Africans and Caribbeans and their descendants built their owners' wealth in bondage. A labor camp is well-defined as a technical entity, and they are certainly not restricted to the 1940s Holocaust. Please keep educating your visitors in plain, unadorned language on the fundamental (ugly) truth behind the genteel South, and the origins of the pre-Civil War era economy, built on the free labor of enslaved people. Thank you!

How much time do i allow/need for a group of ten?
كُتب بتاريخ 11 أكتوبر 2019
90 minutes should be plenty of time. The tour was about 30 minutes, and the grounds are rather small. So the additional hour would allow for some browsing in their little shop, a peek into the first floor of the home and the slave cabins, some photos of the beautiful live oaks, and a potty break. The slave cemetery (across the street) has not been marked and uncovered yet, so there's not much to see.
I would call ahead to see if you can get your own tour guide.
Also, our guide (Olivia) recommended Gillie's Soul Food on Folly Rd. as a good place to get some Southern comfort food.
Enjoy your visit!
