Take an eerie journey back in time at Coastal Georgia’s most haunted rice plantation. Hofwyl-Broadfield Plantation State Historic Site will be offering Ghosts and Legends walking tours of the site. We will walk beneath centuries old Live Oak trees, explore the plantation out-buildings and finish with a lantern tour of the plantation house.
As we stroll through Hofwyl-Broadfield’s moss laden trees hear the stories of five generations of plantation owners and the African-Americans who worked here, in both slavery and freedom. There will be tales of recent ghostly encounters, plantation folklore and the rich but tragic history of the Lowcountry rice fields.
The walks will be on Friday and Saturday nights:
March 13 and 14 at 6:30 p.m.
March 20 and 21 at 6:30 p.m.
April 3 and 4 at 6:30 p.m.
April 10 and 11 at 6:30 p.m.
April 17 and 18 at 6:30 p.m.
Tours will be approximately ½ mile in length. It is suggested that visitors wear shoes comfortable for walking and dress appropriate to the season.
Tickets are $15 per person. Call 912-264-7333 to reserve a spot or for more information.
